The results:
- Mitt Romney 19

- Ron Paul 6
- Tim Pawlenty 4
- Haley Barbour 4

Republican and Republican-leaning independents were read a list of the candidates and asked which one they’d most likely support for the Republican nomination.
With conservative Republicans, Pawlenty polled at 4 percent, and with moderate/liberal Republicans, he was at 3 percent.
