2010 Republican Primary Election for Governor Vote Choice (February 2010)

More Respondents who indicated that they would "definitely" or "probably" vote in the 2010 Republican primary elections were asked, "If the 2010 Republican primary election for governor were held today, would you vote for Rick Perry, Kay Bailey Hutchison, Debra Medina, or haven't you thought enough about it to have an opinion?" Respondents were first asked the question above. If they initially answered that they didn't know, they were then asked a follow-up question: "If you had to make a choice, who would you choose?" Responses to the follow-up questions were folded into the results found below. Ideology is measured on a scale of 1-7, with 1 corresponding to "extremely liberal", 7 corresponding to "extremely conservative, and 4 corresponding to "in the middle." For the purposes of this table, respondents who placed themselves at or between points 1 and 3 on the scale are considered "liberal," respondents who placed themselves at point 4 on the scale are considered "moderate," and respondents who placed themselves at or between points 5 and 7 on the scale are considered conservative.
