Bachmann Claims Big Lead Among Iowa
Conservatives In New Poll

Rep. Michele Bachmann has taken a substantial lead in the presidential race among Iowa conservatives, according to a new poll. The poll, conducted by the 2012 Iowa Report, finds Bachmann with 33% support among conservatives, more than double the next contender, Herman Cain (15%).

Bachmann’s Iowa polling numbers have risen dramatically over the past two weeks which included her campaign announcement and the GOP presidential debate. Among likely caucus goers, Bachmann also received 33% of the votes with 29% of likely voters thinking the Minnesota congresswoman will “ultimately win” the nomination.

Other key findings:

-- The race for the coveted “three tickets out of Iowa” is still very much up for grabs with five candidates (or potential candidates) receiving double-digit support (Cain 15%, Romney 13%, Palin 11%, Paul 10%)
-- One-fourth of Iowa conservatives are still unsure who will ultimately win.
-- Sarah Palin is still poised to make a major play in Iowa with 11% support among conservatives even though she has not announced her intensions.
-- Ron Paul gains the most among likely caucus goers (+2.3%) while Mitt Romney loses the most (-2.9%)

The 2012 Iowa Report Poll, a project of Grassfire Nation, is a special survey of Iowa conservatives conducted weekly to help measure where Iowa conservatives stand on the 2012 Republican presidential field.

Newt has actually done something good for Republicans. Romney, nothing.

You are right. Everyone on the Bachmann bandwagon doesn’t have a clue. I would not support her. Over 200,000 in farm subsidies? and she voted against ending ethanol subsidies? kind of sounds like a conflict of interest. Also, her proposal on disabled veterans and after she retracts that she has a troopathon. We don’t need Bachmann

“The poll, conducted by the 2012 Iowa Report, finds Bachmann with 33% support among conservatives, more than double the next contender, Herman Cain (15%).”

I’ll take either of those top two coming out of Iowa.

You usually spam a lot of fresh squeezed bull**it about Michele Bachmann. You prepared to back up your certitudes with facts yet or are you still in “run like a scared little girl mode” when challenged?

Family life
In 1978, Bachmann married Marcus Bachmann, whom she had met while they were undergraduates in college[12][20] After she graduated from William & Mary School of Law in 1988, the couple moved to Stillwater, Minnesota, a town of 18,000 near St. Paul.[12] Bachmann and her husband have five children (Lucas, Harrison, Elisa, Caroline, and Sophia).
Bachmann and her husband also provided foster care for 23 other children,[21][22] all teenage girls. The Bachmanns were licensed from 1992 to 2000 to handle up to three foster children at a time; the last child arrived in 1998. The Bachmanns began by providing short-term care for girls with eating disorders who were patients in a program at the University of Minnesota. The Bachmann home was legally defined as a treatment home, with a daily reimbursement rate per child from the state. Some girls stayed a few months, others more than a year.[19]
Bachmann and her husband own a Christian counseling practice in Stillwater.[23][24] Bachmann also has an ownership stake in a family farm located in Waumandee, Wisconsin. Since the death of her father-in-law in 2009, the farm and its buildings have been rented out to a neighboring farmer who maintains a dairy herd on the farm.
