Poll: Bachmann surges to primary lead

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.

This shows how fragile Romney's "lead" was.

A staunch conservative makes a good showing in a debate and waltzes right past him in the polls.

People are hungry for a true Patriot, and are perfectly willing to overlook a weakness here and there if they see some actual sincerity.

I think it's great, and I congratulate Michelle on her surge.

One thing that seems apparent is that people would rather not settle for Romney...

Stuff a sock in it and quit working for DU.

Most people are happy.

[Netizen]

Mr. Romney has the air of inevitability about him — 37 percent of the 998 likely primary voters surveyed said they think he will win the nomination. The next closest candidate was Mrs. Bachmann, whom 7 percent of respondents predicted would win the nomination.

I must say the idea of Bachman-Perry is appealing. She can unite the country and Perry can fix the economy presiding in the Senate.

Where is the groundswell of support for Huntsman? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

Happy

With sloppy seconds? Don't think so.

Great news.

Send Willard packing, back to Mass. where he can sign up for RomneyCare.

Then start steamrolling Zero.

Go, Michele!

"I am trying to find it as well and I bumped into this

Obama or somebody new?"


Yes, I saw that. 55% want somebody new. The WH cannot be happy about that.

[Netizen]

They probably asked about those that appeared at the debate AND have declared their candidacy.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

Go wash all that Bachmann hatred of your face your cultism is showing. I am disppointed I thought you would dig at the poll it may not be accurate you know... as Wash Times provided no link.
I fully realize that according to you any straw or any ole poll is only a GOOD one if Palin is in second or winning. Pick on the poll instead of using Rachel Maddow’s talking points of the night.The original poll cannot be found so it was not FReeped and then posted.

[SharpRightTurn]

Great news.

Go, Michele!

You are just sour grapes because you have invested in Palin and she can’t make a decision. Thats fine, but you can stop helping DU and the democrats take down a conservative who has made up her mind.

[Netizen]

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.

Do you have a link to the declaration of this other GOP female candidate? I wasn't aware that another female had declared their candidacy.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Better pick another horse because your filly isn’t going to make it past the first turn.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

Can ya tell Secretariat to poop or get off the pot on the big ole bus?

[gov_bean_ counter]

I am invested in no one. I just happen to prefer conservatives who have actual accomplishments. You seem to be just fine with back bench bomb throwers. This Republic deserves better.

[Lakeshark]

but you can stop helping DU and the democrats take down a conservative who has made up her mind.

Ha ha, the irony is so rich here.....

What a cultist you've become.

[Netizen]

Exactly. People are waiting to see who is really going to run. Why put your eggs in a basket with a hole in it?

[presently no screen name]

unnamed GOP female candidate who is known to seek attention

If you can say that with a straight face, any posts of yours is null and void. The media seeks after SARAH - any clown knows that.

[Clyde5445]

That rich coming from you.

Save it I won’t reply anyways.
