Of all the candidates Mitt Romney
is believed to be considering for his running mate, House Budget
Chairman Paul Ryan is best positioned to help deliver his home state,
according to a Daily Caller analysis of multiple polls conducted by
Public Policy Polling.
Since May, the Democratic polling firm PPP has been conducting polls in battleground states. In addition to polling direct match-ups between the former Massachusetts governor and President Barack Obama, the firm also tests Romney with each state’s most notable political figures listed as his running mate versus the ticket of Obama and Vice President Joe Biden. Of the nearly three dozen Romney VP candidates tested across 15 states since mid-May by PPP, none helps Romney improve his position better in the potential running mate’s home state than Ryan in Wisconsin.
According to a PPP poll of Wisconsin from early June, Obama outpolls Romney in the state 50 percent to 44 percent. But with Ryan as Romney’s running mate, Obama’s lead narrows to just one percentage point.
The net 5 percentage points Ryan brings to Romney in Wisconsin is the best showing of any potential VP candidate measured by PPP in his or her home state. President Obama won Wisconsin’s 10 electoral votes decisively in 2008, but in 2000 and 2004 presidential elections, the state just barely went to the Democrats — by just over 10,000 votes in 2004 and just over 5,000 votes in 2000.
New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez and former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty are the next-best performers for Romney, according to PPP polling.
