Why do some people draw such broad, sweeping conclusions from polling data fourteen months before it matters, even if the source is credible?
Besides, this particular conclusion is much more applicable to Rudy Giuliani in any case….

Republican here. I won’t vote for Romney. I can stomach all the other candidates, but not him. I would vote for Sam Nunn before I voted for Mitt. He has no principles. I’d rather have a candidate who disagrees with me on certain issues who is at least straightforward about it.

The problem isn’t whether 25% won’t vote for Romney. There definitely is a small percentage, however, that won’t, and the same holds for Giuliani. I suspect the actual number is something less than 10% of Republicans for both, probably in the range of 3-5%, but that’s just a WAG. But both probably pick up votes from the other side for the same reasons that they lose votes from Republicans, so it’s essentially a wash.
