But Cain trails behind several of the other presidential hopefuls. He stands in fifth place, with 7% support, according to the latest Rasmuseen Reports survey of likely GOP primary voters. Ahead of him are Perry, with 28% support, Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, with 24%, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich at 9%, and Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann at 8%.

Hello, Cain is 5th among those listed in this article, but not 5th in the Rasmussen poll. Friday, September 23, 2011

Romney 39%,

Perry 18%

Paul 13%

Huntsman 7%

Bachman 5%

Gingrich 4%

Cain 4%

According to that poll, Cain is tied for 6th place with Gingrich

Anyone have a more recent poll where Cain is 5th?

It depends on which poll you look at. Perry had a bump for a while, but Cain is surging again after the debates this week. At one point Friday, he was getting 600 donations an hour.

Here is just a short list of polls with Cain much higher or winning:

“Anyone have a more recent poll where Cain is 5th? “

The margin of error actually has him potentially in 4th place. That is using the usual plus/minus 3%.

Your link is the just New Hampshire poll, not national data the article is referring to.

The poll in the article came out Wednesday. Election 2012: Republican Presidential Primary

Perry (28%), Romney (24%), Gingrich (9%), Bachmann (8%), Cain (7%), Ron Paul (6%), Santorum (3%), Huntsman (2%), McCotter (1%)

McCotter's out and they didn't poll for Johnson.
