Fresh off her well-received performance in last week's GOP presidential debate, Rep. Michele Bachmann now tops the field of candidates in a new Zogby poll of Republican primary voters.

The poll found Mrs. Bachmann garnering 24 percent of the vote, well-ahead of businessman Herman Cain and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who each received 15 percent support.

Mrs. Bachmann needs to drop Margaret Thatcher’s name here and there. It’s a good connection for people to have cemented in their heads.

Why do people write articles without the full information, or a link to the full information.

Did they only ask about Bachmann, Romney, Cain and Huntsman?

Perhaps Romney’s support melted away like the polar icecaps are supposed to do with his belief in global warming.

FANTASTIC!!!

Go Michelle!!

Hopefully another unnamed GOP female candidate who is known to seek attention won’t enter the race late, and siphon off Bachman votes in doing so.

Palin / Bachmann 2012 would be total kick butt IMHO.

Those two would have obama in tears.

The energy, passion, fire, and drive of those two would be a force of nature.

Is it just me or is it about 6-8 months too early to be concerned about this?

Bachmann, Cain or Palin.

I am happy with any of the three. It IS Zogby but it’s awfully nice to NOT see Romney or Wrong Paul leading a poll.

Fringe candidates are only taken seriously by their fringe followers.

Romney needs to be stopped ASAP. It would be McCain all over again if he were to get the nomination.

Bachmann only coopted the Tea Party movement on the orders of Karl Rove who plucked her from the backbenches of the Minnesota state legislature and funded her campaign for the House in 06 and personally campaigned for her.

She supports ethanol subsidies and has recieved with her family over 250k in farm subsidies through a family trust for a farm they own.

Michele Bachmann wrote several letters to Bush adm in 2007 advocating a presidential pardon for Frank Vennes who was a large donor to her , Norm Coleman and Tim Pawlenty. Vennes pleaded guilty and no contest to federal charges of money laundering, cocaine and firearms trafficking in 1987.

Bachmann , who used to be a liberal , organized for Jimmy Carter in 76. Now she has Ed "walking around money" Rollins managing her campaign. Rove and the Bush people are working behind the scenes to nominate Romney and made a deal with Bachmann to split the Tea Party vote for the VP spot. That is why Bachmann won't critisize Romney on Romneycare.

Bachmann has no experience as a mayor or governor and has no business experience. Furthermore , she has no legislative success to show for. Bachmann is an emty suit who says the right things for her base , much like Obama in 07.

Last but not least , why is the leftist media all of the sudden helping Bachmann. All of the sudden they are giving her good press ...just like McCain.

That is a good question. There should always be a link to the original source in such articles. I could not find the poll on the Zogby website.

Michele needs to keep her foot on the gas pedal and not let up. So far she is running a smart campaign, but is surging to the front a little sooner than anticipated. This will make a her a target sooner.
