Obama's Overall Approval Steady at 42%

UTICA, NY--Rick Perry has tumbled by more than 20 percentage points over the past month among Republican presidential primary voters and is now second to Herman Cain, who leads the field with 28%.

Mitt Romney received little benefit from Perrys fall, garnering 17% of the vote for third place.

As for President Barack Obama, both his job approval (42%) and the percentage who believe he deserves re-election (37%) are little changed from recent polls, but he does seem to be winning back some supporters who have been disappointed in his job performance.

These results are from an IBOPE Zogby interactive poll conducted Sept. 23-26 of all likely voters and of likely Republican primary voters.

Cain as President would be nothing short of a miracle for this country. If the situation arose that this fine man could go to Washington and speak directly to the American people about a different vision, he probably could unite the people country in a way few men could.

Maybe conservative black cnadidates don’t need the black vote.

What I find most interesting about this poll is... just like the Florida straw poll, if Perry losses ground it doesn't really help Romney at all. Which means Romney doesn't really help himself by attacking Perry, he would be better off attacking someone else it seems like Huntsman and drive him out of the race and pick up his 1 or 2% support.

I warned people to wait until Perry was vetted to get all attached to him. He’s been weighed and found wanting.

This is going to get interesting.

You really think blacks will switch to Cain??

Who cares? He has the conservative white vote sewn up and he will get the independents.

AMEN!!! Cain is my absolute new hero!!! 9-9-9!!! And my FAVORITE ANSWER of the debate was ABOLISH THE EPA!!!

Don’t kid yourself. It doesn’t matter what Obama does or how badly he screws up. Blacks will turn out in huge numbers to vote for him. They may be the only people who do, but come election day they’ll be there.

That took me a couple of seconds..... clever.

The Dem party convention delegate run push poll operation is live and well.

“You really think blacks will switch to Cain??”

Do we really care? I sure as heck don’t. Herman Cain simply happens to be the best conservative candidate who has announced so far. I hope Sarah jumps in. But if she doesn’t, I’d be very happy to vote for Mr. Cain.

[Marie]

I disagree. I know plenty of conservative black people who got swept up in the excitement and voted for Obama and who regret it. I also know that there are many church-going black people who’s views are much more in line with Cain’s.

In the end, it doesn’t matter. I believe that Cain will clean Obama’s clock.

Wait, ah jeez, you are giving Obama ideas.
