Well this is a horse of a different color.

[ilgipper]

As predicted. If Perry can survive the onslaught of the next few weeks and perform well in the next large debate, this thing is going to be over sooner than later.

[SamAdams76]

Good news. Let’s get the RINOs out of the race early and narrow the field to conservatives only.

[erod]

Romney and Bachmann are going to fade fast, if Palin doesn’t jump in this race the nod is probably Perry’s.

[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

Obviously Rasmussen and Rick Perry have Palin Derangement Syndrome.

Oh, and it’s also obvious that Rick Perry is just a stalking horse for Myth Romney.

[InterceptPoint]

In a two man race it would be Perry 2 to 1 over Romney. I’m not surprised.

[Sacajaweau]

Can we guess a running mate?

I'll start....Rubio...but the question of citizenship comes up. So, I'm still thinking.

[Jedidah]

Horse of a different color?

Speaking of color, and no PC garbage:

The GOP sure as heck better not nominate Romney with his Mormon background and vulnerability to charges of racism.

No way, with his generations-long ties to mormonism, can he escape the issue in a general election campaign against the M.N.

[Steel Wolf]

Has Mittens ever hit 29%? He must be furious.

[McGruff]

You know that Eagles song that goes “There's a new kid in town...”. It keeps playing in my head.

[AAABEST]

[Old Teufel Hunden]

If he holds this lead, I’m guessing all of the second tier candidates will drop out (Cain, Huntsman, Santorum). Only the big three will be left with Ron Paul hanging on forever picking up his steady 4 - 5 percent...

[LaybackLenny]

This poll is obviously false. How many times have we read here on FR that anyone who waits until this late to announce is toast? /sarc

[Erik Latranyi]

I actually see Romney fading out and this becomes a Perry vs Bachmann race.

Romney’s support is name recognition from 2008.....nothing more.

Perry and Bachmann provide everything people want without Romney’s baggage.

I feel most people, who are not as engaged as we are, were just waiting for an alternative to Romney.

Also... separate but related... today’s Gallup has little barry (not deserving of a capital letter) back at 39% approve, 53% disapprove.

[ScottinVA]

Rick Santorum, former U.S. senator from Pennsylvania, and ex-Utah Governor Jon Huntsman each get one percent (1%) support, while Michigan Congressman Thaddeus McCotter comes in statistically at zero.

Time for these three to call it a day. They're going nowhere. I like Santorum, but he doesn't have a prayer.

[grumpygresh]

It is a good sign that Romney can’t seen to get over 20%. Romney’s got the rino vote, but that’s pretty much it.

[Mount Athos]

The lessons of past elections include that straw polls and early polling results are remarkably meaningless indicators.

But it’s all we’ve got so let’s run with it!
