2. Mitt Romney -- 60% favorable, 21% unfavorable
3. Sarah Palin -- 58% favorable, 37% unfavorable
4. Newt Gingrich -- 55% favorable, 26% unfavorableFor a while, it seemed as if Palin's biggest obstacle to a run for the presidency would be the general election. But now, it looks like the GOP primary may be a big challenge in itself.
