Cain Way Ahead of GOP Field

A new Economist/YouGov poll finds Herman Cain leading the Republican presidential field with 33%, followed by Mitt Romney at 18%, Rick Perry at 10%, Newt Gingrich at 9%, Ron Paul at 7%, Jon Huntsman at 4% and Michele Bachmann at 3%. 


From the PPP~ 10/12/11

Cain leads nationally

"Yesterday PPP released numbers showing Herman Cain leading Mitt Romney 30-22 in Iowa and our monthly look at the national picture finds the exact same numbers.  Cain is up 30-22 on Romney with Newt Gingrich sneaking past Rick Perry for 3rd place at 15% to Perry's 14% with Michele Bachmann and Ron Paul tied for 5th at 5%, Jon Huntsman 7th at 2%, Rick Santorum 8th at 1%, and Gary Johnson 9th with less than 1%.

Strong Tea Party support has Cain in the driver's seat nationally, just as he has been on our last four individual state polls.  With non-Tea Party Republicans Romney actually leads Cain 29-27.  But with the Tea Party crowd Cain is getting 39% with Gingrich at 16%, Perry at 14%, and Romney in 4th place at 13%.  Romney doesn't need to win the Tea Partiers to be the Republican nominee.  But he does need to finish better than 4th with them."

NBC/WSJ poll: Cain now leads GOP pack

“He isn’t a politician” 

Cain’s numbers are sky-high among Republican primary voters. Fifty-two percent view him favorably, versus just 6 percent who see him unfavorably. Among Tea Party supporters, his favorable/unfavorable score is 69 percent to 5 percent. And among Republicans who identify themselves as “very conservative,” it’s 72 percent to 2 percent.

In follow-up interviews with respondents supporting Cain, they argue that he’s not a politician, and that he seems real. “He has common-sense answers and is in touch with the heartbeat of America,” said one respondent, a 46-year-old male from Florida.

“Cain gives direct answers. He is succinct. He isn’t a politician,” answered another who’s a 56-year-old male from Washington

The Republican Nomination Race: Romney, Cain Move to the Top 

September 28-October 2, 2011 

• Mitt Romney and Herman Cain are now the leading preferences of Republican primary 

voters nationwide, followed by Rick Perry.  But this is still a very fluid race; threequarters say they could still change their minds. 

• Tea Party backers have shifted this race: they’ve now thrown more support behind 

Herman Cain, pushing him up into a first-place tie, and away from former frontrunner 

Rick Perry.
