Republican voters still aren't crazy about their potential presidential nominees, according to a new Pew Reserach Center poll.
52 percent of GOP and GOP-leaning registered voters said the field is fair or poor. 46 percent have positive views of the field.
The survey was conducted Jan. 26-29 among 1,006 adults, including 341 Republican and Republican-leaning registered voters.
A month ago, just before the Jan. 10 New Hampshire primary, 51 percent gave the field excellent or good ratings. 44 percent rated it fair or poor.
The poll also found that more voters thought President Barack Obama understood the problems of average Americans more than top Republican contenders Mitt Romney or Newt Gingrich. 55 percent said the president understood them very or fairly well.
But 39 percent thought Romney understood well, and 36 percent felt that way about Gingrich.
