“ Public Policy Polling found these results in these states: North Carolina- Cain jumped from 8% to 27%, 10 points ahead of Willard.
In Nebraska it was Cain 30 Willard 13 and in West Virginia Cain topped Willard 24/16. What is more significant is that Cain is pulling well with self identified “very conservative” likely voters - 35% in North Carolina 36% in Nebraska and 25% in West Virginia.
This is very big because of the “Primary voter rule” ……in Republican primaries those farthest to the right vote at a higher rate than others. Cain is impressing the “broken glass” conservative voters.
Willard’s support has stayed at about the same level since PPP started polling in January. Over the months that has been good enough to lead at times but not break out far ahead. He does not seem to be attracting new supporters.
“… “Tea Party Nation”, another group of likely conservative voters gave Cain 44% to Willard’s 2%, Newt was second with 22%.
As the month progressed the news continued to improve for Cain. By mid month he moved up to second place in two New Hampshire polls. Cain is still far behind Willard, but he is moving up while Willard is staying static or falling back.
In a mid month Midwestern Leadership Conference straw poll Cain got 52.6% and Willard got just 11.1%. …..a Zogby poll showed Cain ahead among Republicans planning to vote in the primaries by 20 points.
In a “Polling Position” survey in mid month Cain not only beat Obama 43/41 but got 24% of the African American vote. For Cain to get anything over 10% of this vote would mean a HUGE beating for all Democrats where Blacks are an important voting block.... more...

Cain is the Republican version of Barack Obama, plain and simple. Cain has no political experience — even worse than Obama’s resume before he was elected prez. To me Cain is an enigma and could potentially be a Trojan horse. I never, ever, EVER trust any candidate just because they mouth words that please my ear. I want to see what they’ve done to live and practice the words they speak.
He should get ahold of Garrett Morris...October has been berry berry good...to me!
Wores than Obama? Man don’t let you hate for Cain over run your reason. Did Obama ever have a job in the private sector? Did Obama ever have a job managing hundreds of people? Did Obama every have a job period? Are you saying Obama’s life story is better than this?
About Herman Cain: My Story I was raised in Atlanta, Georgia by loving and hardworking parents. We grew up poor, but we grew up happy. Things weren’t always easy, but my mom and dad knew that if they kept their faith in God, faith in themselves and their faith in the greatest country in the world, they, too, could achieve their American Dream.
That dream, we discovered, was for my parents to own their own home and watch their two sons graduate from college. Those dreams required that my father work three jobs to support our family.
The first dream was realized in a brick home on Albert Street. I can still recall the excitement of the day, as he surprised us—even my mother—when he drove us to our new home.
Their second dream was realized when I proudly accepted my degree in mathematics from Morehouse College in 1967 and my brother graduated from Morris Brown College. Both of my father’s American Dreams were achieved. Now, I set off to achieve mine.
One year after graduating, I married the love of my life, Gloria. And together, we started our journey to achieve our Dreams. This meant relocating to Indiana where I would begin my Master’s degree program at Purdue University, while working full-time as a mathematician at the Department of the Navy.
After earning my Master’s degree and six years working for the Department of the Navy, we returned home to Atlanta, where I began to climb the corporate ladder with the Coca-Cola Company. I faced challenges, but I always remembered the values my parents taught me. With enough faith and determination, I knew I could go as high in corporate America as I desired.
I enjoyed a successful career at the Coca-Cola Company and later moved to the Pillsbury Company. Within a short period, I rose to the position of Vice President. When I got there, I thought I had already achieved my American Dream on the 31st floor of the new Pillsbury Corporate Headquarters with a corner office. But I quickly realized I wanted something more.
I resigned my position and started on another path- the restaurant industry. I knew that in order to be successful, I had to start from “the ground up.” This meant broiling hamburgers at Pillsbury’s Burger King division. After nine months of a grueling restaurant experience, I was assigned to lead a low performing region of 450 Burger King restaurants. Within three years, we became the best-performing region in the U.S.
I could have been content with my executive role with one of America’s biggest corporations. Instead, after consulting with my wife, we decided to take one of the biggest risks of our marriage: picking up our young family, relocating yet again and accepting the call to become CEO and President of Godfather’s Pizza, a company teetering on the edge of bankruptcy.
In 14 months, we turned the company around and returned it to profitability, and I ultimately led my management team to a buyout of Godfather’s Pizza. The company never went bankrupt, and today, there are still hundreds of locations across the U.S.
My success at turning around Godfather’s got the attention of fellow restaurateurs around the nation who invited me to join the Board of Directors of the National Restaurant Association and later elected me its chairman. In 1996, they retained me as the full-time President and the CEO of the National Restaurant Association, working on behalf of thousands of small businesses and entrepreneurs.
In 1994, as chairman of the National Restaurant Association, I had the opportunity to speak with President Clinton during a nationally televised town hall meeting. Here, I challenged the President regarding the impact on businesses if his health care overhaul proposal were passed.
President Clinton attempted to assure me and the millions of viewers watching at home that his legislation would not harm American business owners and their employees.
I was skeptical. “Quite honestly Mr. President, your calculations are incorrect,” I said. “In the competitive marketplace, it simply doesn’t work that way.”
Through these and other appearances on behalf of the National Restaurant Association, I began working with business leaders across all sectors of the American economy. This led to my acceptance of a position on the Board of Directors of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, and I was subsequently elected their chairman.
Today, I host a radio talk show, “The Herman Cain Show,” on Atlanta’s WSB 750 AM/ 95.5 FM. I serve as a regular contributor on several broadcast networks and as a keynote speaker at conferences and events around the nation.
Despite the many professional commitments of my life, I continued to enjoy most the time spent with family and friends. As my children got married and had their own children, I knew that I had an extraordinary obligation to do what I could to make this a safe and prosperous nation for them. The paramount joys in my life are my wife, Gloria, our children and our grandchildren.
I am grateful for the many professional successes I have enjoyed. I am grateful for the steadfast loyalty and unwavering love of my family and friends. And I am grateful for this country that is so exceptional that I was afforded the opportunity to achieve my American Dreams.
I’m not done yet!

I can’t wait to hear your reply.
You couldn't be further from the truth. Obama had NEVER had to meet a payroll or take responsibility for anything other than attend meetings. Cain has had to make tough decisions for national corporations. He also views issues through an AMERICAN prism, vs. Obama's UN-tinted one.
Well why don’t you educate yourself on Mr. Cain’s life then.
Your comparison of him to Obama is ignorant, ridiculous, and without any merit whatsoever.
Calling Mr. Cain “the Republican verions of Barack Obama” has got to be the stupidest comment I’ve read on FR.
Wolfstar, a BushBot and Troll since 1999. You Sir are a first class MORON!
Yep, one of the things I like about Cain is that he’s been in the private sector all his life. That in itself means he’s had to unite people toward the common goal of making money.
Obama has spent his life as a community organizer who drives divisions in an attempt to force people to give money or have it taken by other means.
Does anyone know what Cain’s position is on the UN? I heard Newt say he would get us out of the UN and that is a biggy for me. Ya’ll got to do some persuading to change my mind about the fact that Newt is a known conservative and we already know his negatives. There would be no surprises. He is electable, even by independents and probably a lot of disaffected democrats.
