Washington (CNN) – A new national survey is further proof that Texas Gov. Rick Perry's entrance earlier this month into the race for the White House has dramatically altered the battle for the Republican presidential nomination.
According to a CNN/ORC International Poll of Republicans and independent voters who lean towards the GOP, Perry now sits atop the list of Republican presidential candidates, with strong support from most demographic groups.
The survey, released Monday, indicates that 27 percent of Republicans nationwide support Perry for their party's nomination, with former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who's making his second bid for the White House, at 14 percent. Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin follows at ten percent, with Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani at nine percent, and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, who's making his third bid for the presidency, at six percent. Every one else listed on the questionnaire registered in the low single digits.

This really blows me away. I like him, but I honestly thought that the overall feeling of another TX governor running for POTUS would be met with huge outcries.
Where’s Palin....This is serious business. Either she’s in or out...It’s not “game time”. It’s gonna cost her if she is in.
I wonder what the results would be if Rudy and Sarah aren’t on this list
IF you'd rather NOT be pinged FReepmail me.
IF you'd like to be added FReepmail me. Thanks.
“.. the overall feeling of another TX governor running for POTUS would be met with huge outcries.”
This will be a much bigger factor in the general. Perry would need to take steps to separate himself from GWB.
Palin knows what she’s doing.
Hang in there and relax.

It looks like all of the major candidates have lost ground since Perry got into the race, while Perry has skyrocketed to the lead.
No surprises here, but great to see!
It’s hard to argue results, regardles of the drawl.
Maybe... but it helps to have a job growth history as Perry's Texas has had.
It has been obvious to me since February that Sarah has no intention of disturbing her “lead conservative pundit” position by becoming a presidential candidate. I continue to be surprised that others don’t realize that.
There’s a new thread today about him doing just that, separating himself from Bush. It’s good. You should read it.
The continuing invasion of illegal aliens has a huge impact on jobs and the economy. I hope Perry wises up to this fact.
They realize it. It’s denial.
Time for these guys — none of whom has a snowball-in-hell chance of being nominated or elected — to pack it in:
Johnson
Huntsman
Santorum
McCotter
What could be better, what could be more poetic than replacing this idiot Obama with another Texas governor...
I mean seriously, I really can’t think of a better way of saying fvck you, Barry, than sending a Texan to cover the One’s second term.
Especially a Texan that sounds like W.
