wrong, because this poll asked “adult americans” who they’d vote for...not many likely voters. It is bunk.

the numbers are the same now as they have been for a month, the debate had ZERO affect, just as I suspected.

The figures for GOP choice are based on responses from those adults who identified themselves as Republicans or Republican-leaning independents. True this is not the same as likely GOP voters but I doubt it is completely off. Let’s see what Ras comes up with this week.

Not hardly. If these are adults only, just imagine the support of voting Americans. Perry is guilty only of running a general election campaign in his primary. The cross overs this election will be tremendous and it will
temper the intransigent Republican minority of the party I’m afraid. Rick gets that. His issues will get their day in a broader court soon, as the new campaign staff gets its feet on the ground and gets the message out against the fiction flackers.

Perry didn't have a good night. I'm fully aware of that. However, we are in a recession, and a bad one at that. Unemployment is in double digits. The housing market is dead. The stock market is on a rollercoaster. Deficits are through the roof. We have 3 wars going on right now. We have Obamacare. We have a president trying to skyrocket taxes.

The point I'm trying to make is that people don't CARE about Texas' requirements for in-state tuition. That is a non-issue, as any poll of issues will show you. And whether a Vietnamese student pays in-state or out-of-state tution is of no consequence on the rest of America.

Perry did botch an attack on Romney, but that didn't do anything discount the record of Texas during this turd of an economy. We're creating jobs down here, and that's what people will focus on.

About 90% of those “adult Americans” self-identified as “registered voter”.

From the internals of the poll.....

Interviews with 1,010 adult Americans conducted by telephone
by ORC International on September 23-25, 2011. The margin of
sampling error for results based on the total sample is plus or
minus 3 percentage points. The sample also includes 917
interviews among registered voters (plus or minus 3 percentage
points).
The sample includes 807 interviews among landline respondents
and 203 interviews among cell phone respondents.
