Backtracking backtracking excuses excuses then in the 2nd half of the 6th paragraph they finally tell us the poll results. Yes, Cains numbers went down as they ran 100+ stories about "allegations", but the fact they were forced to run this headline is priceless!

Now where is that Ha/Ha icon?

Its a hoot... Cain has weathered the controversy and Slick Willard is where he’s always been in second.

It must be frustrating for him to see the upstart elbow past him. But he’s patient and will wait it out to the end.

FUMR!! FUKR!! FURINOS!!

I don’t put a lot of faith in polls but they do show trends if they are accurate polls.

I know nothing of George Washington university, but the trend I see from this poll is that Newt and Perry are tied.
Even after the Newt Cain Kissyfest Lincoln Douglas debate.

Even after the fatal Uh, Uh, Duh 53 seconds.

[mylife]

BTW Cain was a deer in the headlights during the Lincoln Douglas kissyfest

Amazing... I guess it boils down to people TRUST Cain over Newt, Romney, and Obama.

[newzjunkey]

The POLITICO/George Washington University Battleground Poll of 1,000 likely voters, including 436 Republicans, was conducted Nov. 6-9

Less than half were Republicans polled for a Republican primary poll. Yeah, that sounds great.

Cain fanatics will overlook his support dropped by half as of day three of the polls. They'll ignore how terribly he's doing with women too. They'll ignore the bow-wrapped gifts he's given the Dems with "princess Pelosi" and other statements. They'll ignore his Democrat donations and Democrat wife. They'll ignore his campaign's problems and flip-flops. They ignore his dismal performance in Saturday's foreign policy debate.

Facts, vetting and substance don't matter... he's the one we want and we'll shove him down your throats! We'll burn down this country's future and hand it to Obama four more years just to prove we're not racists too.

Seriously? Is that where we are?

Tragically Cain has not risen the occasion and is not going to whether he is pushed into the nomination or not. I can only hope in the next five debates, before Iowa makes its choice, the depth of Cain's unpreparedness is laid bare.

Thanks for going over this poll. Was there even weighting by man / woman ?

[org.whodat]

The surging motor mouth newt had a short run. LOL

..inching toward Iowa and Cain is still standing—the man, the message, and the money...

With Battleground poll included

Much like what the government does with unemployment statistics, the following chart represents a 4-poll "rolling average" for the latest 20+ polls listed at RealClearPolitics.com (plus recent weekly national polls from YouGov).

I also weighted the polls by their size. For example, a poll with a survey size of 1000 was weighted proportionately heavier than an 324 survey size.

Weighted 4-Poll Rolling Averages of the latest 20+ Polls listed at RCP [as of Nov 12th]
plus "YouGov" 11/8, 11/1, 10/25, 10/18 and 10/11 polls,
and Poll Position 11/8, and 11/1 polls inserted chronologically

(Example methodology for this chart is on my profile page)
.

BTW: Real Clear Politics (of Chicago) cheated today, in order to keep ROMNEY in the lead!

When they added Battleground today, they eliminated Rasmussen from their averages, even though it clearly was taken within the last 14 days (their standard). If they had kept Rasmussen, Cain would have led their averages again (Cain +0.2).
RCP has violated their standards before, in the other direction, keeping Romney-favored polls up to 3 weeks at times in order to keep their blessed boy in the lead.

The title that you posted is misleading. The real title is:

Post-allegations, the Cain drain

[icwhatudo]

Politico changes headline of poll story from

"Cain leads GOP field in Battleground poll"

To:

"Post-allegations, the Cain drain"

Here is the proof:

Now the headline reads:

[bgill]

The evening SeeBS news just announced Cain is done. Stick a fork in him. Bottoming out in the polls. Sex scandal! Sex scandal!

Sadly, most voters won’t look further than the alphabets and believe every lying word.
