If the Republican presidential caucus or primary were held today, would you vote for Michelle Bachmann, Newt Gingrich, Jon Huntsman, Rick Perry, Mitt Romney, Ron Paul, Rick Santorum, someone else or do you not know who you would vote for?

[TBBT]

Non weekend polling...

[BenKenobi]

Looks like the Cain folks have split between Bachmann and Perry. Newt’s grabbing all the establishment republicans.

[MNJohnnie]

I can’t keep up with what’s been going down
I think my heart must just be slowing down
Among the human beings in their designer jeans
Am I the only one who hears the screams
And the strangled cries of RINO’s in love

[E. Pluribus Unum]

This thing is way more fluid than state-controlled media wants to admit.

Nobody has it in the bag.

[TitansAFC]

Ping!

[Grunthor]

Perry is moving up.

I ain’t in love with any of these people but if Perry could show that he’s not the idiot that he sounds like sometimes....he’d beat the two current frontrunners like a redheaded stepchild.

Oh I think you have to say that Newt got some Cain folks, although I would think Perry and Bachmann got some too.

I was a Cain-Newt-Perry sort of guy - now I”m a Newt-Perry sort. But, I’m not in Iowa....

Candidate I want/Newt
Candidates I could “deal” with/Perry, Bachmann
“No Way/No How” Candidates/Paul, Mittens, Huntsman

[Parley Baer]

It appears to me that Romney’s support is going to Perry, and Bachmann as he slides in the polls. Newt and Paul are holding steady.

[Graybeard58]

I’m hoping big! Milty loses in New Hampshire!

[C. Edmund Wright]

That’s a BIG if - and in fact ,already been shown to be a mountain too high to climb I’m afraid.

But I’d be OK if he somehow developed some communications ability.

[snowrip]

Palin.

[katiedidit1]

I want Newt but could deal with Santorum or Perry. NO WAY for Huntsman, Bachmann (anti veterans), Paul (blames Israel) or Romney.

[US Navy Vet]

“Bachmann (anti veterans)” first I’d heard of that. Please elaborate.

[PALIN SMITH]

My prediction for January 3

Paul 28%
Gingrich 24%
Perry 18%
Bachmann 16%
Romney 14%

[US Navy Vet]

PaulBots=Ballot-Box Stuffers!

[BenKenobi]

Perry + Bachmann combined was at around 5 percent. Now Perry + Bachmann combined is 23 percent.

That’s 18 percent. Pretty much all the Cain supporters.

Romney, has dropped from around 25 percent to 12, 13 percent of whom have gone to Newt.

Analysis seems pretty clear.

1. Cain supporters to Perry + Bachmann. Romney supporters to Newt, because Romney can’t win.

[To-Whose-Benefit?]

“if Perry could show that he’s not the idiot that he sounds like “

Have you Watched him debate?

If you look in the dictionary of American Slang under “Deer in the Headlights” there’s a jim dandy picture of Gov. Ric

It goes WAY beyond him just Sounding like an idiot.

[LowTaxesEqualsProsperity]

Newt is the worst of the bunch. GOP hari kari coming again?

[BenKenobi]

Nope, Romney support is fully behind Newt.

Here’s the spectrum.

Romney - Newt - Perry - Bachmann - Cain

and then there’s another floor into the page, that’s Paul supporters.

Cain supporters have gone to Perry and Bachmann. Romney supporters have gone fully behind Newt.
