Poll: Cain surges, opens up 20-point lead on Romney

In news sure to inject shock and awe into the Republican political primary season, a Zogby poll released Thursday showed Herman Cain leading the Republican field, topping former front-runner Mitt Romney by an astonishing 20 points. Cain would also narrowly edge out Obama in a general election, the poll found, by a 46�“44 margin.

Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, would lose by a point to the president, 40 percent to 41 percent. Texas governor Rick Perry, who has slipped in the polls of late, would lose to the president 45 percent to 40 percent.

The poll found that 38 percent of Republican primary voters said they would vote for Cain if the primary were held today. Eighteen percent said they would throw their support to Romney, while 12 percent each said they would vote for Perry and Texas congressman Ron Paul. No other candidate attracted double-digit support.

are we conservatives that pessimistic about Herman Cain’s that we feel the need to cite this crap?

The thing is, I don't think the thread poster or most of the people reading the thread know that the "poll" is crap. And half of them won't believe you if you tell them. Take post #100, by a freeper who says he's a Zogby poll’ee, he defends Zogby's methodology.
