WASHINGTON — An interesting note out of today's Public Policy Polling survey, which tested Tim Pawlenty directly against President Obama in a hypothetical head-to-head.

Though Obama tops him nationally right now, Pawlenty actually does better (losing 31-38) with people who don't know enough about him to form an opinion than those who do (down 36-58), according to PPP, a Democratic-leaning North Carolina-based polling firm, which has been rated among the most accurate pollsters in the U.S. by FiveThirtyEight and the Wall Street Journal.

...
The analysis of his own numbers on T-Paw from Tom Jensen at PPP:

"And here's a fact that doesn't bode well for Pawlenty as he becomes better known. With voters who have no opinion about him, he trails Obama only 38-31. With voters who do feel like they know enough about him to have an opinion he trails the President 58-36. So if he becomes the GOP nominee by attrition, well, Democrats are probably fine with that."
