Is this a “real” or “interactive” poll?
If real, an 8% showing for Cain is good news. Newt will continue to slide, and I also think Ron Paul will again disappoint his fervent supporters and score single digits when real votes are counted.
Given the lack of name recognition for Cain, I think that he’s doing pretty well about nine months out of primary season.
