If the 2012 presidential nomination contest were a television reality show, Michele Bachmann would be the first candidate voted off.

That’s the results of a Poll Position poll of 1,200 voters nationwide. Bachmann was the winner — or actually the loser — with 24 percent of respondents choosing her as the first to go.

Ironically, the Minnesota congresswoman has not campaign events scheduled today.

However, her calendar is full Wednesday and she’ll be in Eastern Iowa Friday to campaign in Vinton.

According to poll results, Herman Cain would be next with 16 percent picking to have him ousted, former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman would follow next with 12 percent, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich would be fourth to go with 10 percent, Texas Rep. Ron Paul and Rick Perry tied with 9 percent wanting them off, Mitt Romney was next to last to go with 5 percent.

Rick Santorum would be the contest winner with only 3 percent wanting to see him leave.

Thirteen percent did not have an opinion on the poll question.

Broken down by party, the results show Bachmann, Cain and Gingrich would be the first three voted off by Democrats.

Republicans would eliminate Huntsman, Bachman and Paul.

Men would axe Bachmann, Huntsman and Perry. An equal percentage of women made Bachmann and Cain their first choice for early exits from the race for the presidential nomination with Gingrich coming in third.
