I probably did this wrong but here goes: This is polling data only for the USA Today/Gallup poll, all taken after the last debate. Perry is up from 17 to 31. Romney is exactly the same at 24 from last month. Paul is...who cares...and Bachmann fell 2 points to 5 (no shocker there). Everyone else lost a point or two. Of course the USA Today people are trying to spin it as negative, but what it really says is the only person to gain is Perry. Everyone else stayed the same or slipped. Good day to be Perry. This and the abortion clinic closings in Texas -- WOO HOO!!!!!

It’s good information my FRiend but the cut and paste is just butt ugly! :)

[DRey]

Lol! I know! It kept insisting that I auto excerpt so I just cut/pasted a mess. : (

It's a dupe anyway. I asked the mods to pull it.

Remember, boys and girls: formatting is your friend.

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

Well, the link works anyway :-)

“No political cross dressers.
NO RINOs.”

[Huck]

It’s Perry vs Romney. The rest are just taking up space.

[DRey]

: )~

[Diogenesis]

In the end, both RINOs will tank.

[Huck]

Leaving.....no nominee? Wishful thinking. Anyway, the others on the stage have no chance--Newt, Bachmann, Cain, Santorum, Paul. Did I forget anyone? Huntsman. McCotter.

It's a two man race, and right now, Perry will win that race. That's why there is a lot of talk among establishment types to find someone else to enter--because Romney can't beat Perry.

Why did you leave Palin off? She’s third.

Perry Romney Palin
28.2—19.6—11.5

[Reagan Man]

This might help.

[DRey]

Oh...look what you did!!

[DRey]

We’re not looking at the yellow line. That’s the average. We’re looking at the latest POLL. Palin isn’t on it. She polls zero.

[CA Conservative]

Why did you leave Palin off? She’s third.

Palin wasn't in this poll, you are showing the RCP average. Interestingly enough, Sarah's average hasn't changed since the beginning of July. It appears that she has a floor of about 10% support, and a ceiling of about 15% support.

Keep this picture in mind from now until the Republican Primary. Mittens yucking it up with Teddy and friends as he signs Romneycare into law in Massachusetts

[dusttoyou]

Palin ain’t in the race, mistaPalinwisher.

[SamAdams76]

In my opinion, Sarah Palin is number one...and yes, until she tells us otherwise, she is running!

[shield]

I gave you a link to the original posting on this...I see you just couldn’t resist...you bad.

[MestaMachine]

okey dokey.
So this is average of ALL the current polls, some of which don’t include her, and you ignore the fact that her numbers are fairly decent in those which do, yet you still think she wouldd poll no better if she were to announce? Serious question.
