The GOP Presidential candidates for 2012 were Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich, Jon Huntsman, Gary E. Johnson, Ron Paul, Tim Pawlenty, Mitt Romney, and Rick Santorum. After a very contentious process, Mitt Romney earned enough votes to get the nomination, which officially occurred at the Republican convention later that summer. Although Ron Paul was nominally still in the race, he mathematically could not get the nomination, so it was Mitt Romney who faced President Obama. On November 6, 2012, the election was held, and President Obama defeated Mitt Romney to win a second term in office.

One group of people that has become more attached to Republican presidential candidates since 1961 is white evangelical Christians. This religious demographic has consistently supported Republican candidates due to shared conservative values and policy positions on issues such as abortion and same-sex marriage. Republican candidates have made efforts to appeal to this group, leading to increased attachment over time.
