> Name recognition means a lot to a presidential hopeful. In that sense, New York's Nelson Rockefeller is almost certain to be the Republican nominee next year. When Gallup asked voters to identify four top G.O.P. possibilities, the percentage of those answering correctly was:

Rockefeller 78%

Goldwater 45

Romney 31

Scranton 28
