Republicans Trust Romney Most On Social Issues | A new Washington Post/ABC poll has found that voters who lean Republican trust Mitt Romney more on “social issues, such as abortion and gay marriage,” than any other candidate. Twenty-six percent thought Romney was the most trustworthy on those issues, followed by Newt Gingrich (15 percent), Michele Bachmann (13 percent), and Ron Paul (12 percent). Though Iowa’s Bob Vander Plaats endorsed Rick Santorum today as “a stalwart and a soldier for the sanctity of human life and God’s design for the family,” only 4 percent of respondents found that he was the most trustworthy on social issues.
