You COULD say that the four InsiderAdvantage state polls released today represent a reasonably good cross-section of our overall country.

So I gave each poll results equal weighting, and averaged them, as follows:

	Sample	Cain	Romney	Gingrich	Paul	Bachman	Perry	Huntsman	Santorum
U.S. COMPOSITE	1812 RV	28.1	26.4	9.2	7.4	5.9	5.7	2.3	unknown
SC	476 RV	32	16	8	6	6	12	1	NotAsked
FL	505 RV	30.2	32.6	11.7	2.7	1.6	2.9	2	NotAsked
IA	422 RV	26	18	12	10	11	6	1	NotAsked
NH	409 RV	24	39	5	11	5	2	5	NotAsked

I'd say this looks pretty reasonable compared to other polls done recently.

Note that Gingrich is 3rd, and Perry would be in SIXTH place!
Perry would do a 'little' better in a national poll that includes Texas, but not all that much better.

You’re still being very generous with the others...but Cain still manages to stay on top. I’d say it was certainly a good day for Cain with the polls.

Great job. Thanks!

I've been watching the national averages for weeks and the dynamics I find quite interesting.

Keep up the good work, I'm always interested.

For Comparison, I added the Zogby result from this weekend (Oct. 11-14) to the bottom of this table...

BobL: You're right. The COMPOSITE seems even conservative compared to other polls done recently.

Thank you for that, I really like graphs and charts with raw information, rather than some analyst’s interpretation of the seldom-seen numbers. That would move Perry to a whopping 5.7%, or about the number of cheerleaders he has spamming the Front Page news everytime he ties his shoes without having to start over.

Further proof the left and the insidious WH corruptors are even afraid of *ahem* a smart REAL black man who has a history of successes and went to MLK U!!! Good Lord what more can one ask or is it "akse" for( Obama says that sometimes when he recedes and speaks to blacks in the lingo)in a leader that KNOWS economics and if he listens to his generals, if he keeps a good cabinet he'll catch up on the international scene just fine.

I think he's stay within the constitution, but could we get a worse person to "lead' that the guy inhabiting the golf courses and throwing Tomahawks at countries sans congressional approval, sending Climate Change to the EPA and DOE?? And has serious racist under and overtones? Okay rhetorical question. I'm leaning to a Cain/Gingrich ticket. Toss Perry in Israeli relations as an ambasador and let Bachmann become the ME Saudi ammbassador..hee hee. Let Ryan build the fence/border...I mean all those in the debates have some seriousskills and should not be put to pasture.

will be interesting to see what happens when the bottom 3 get a clue and drop out of the race

Just my opinion, but I believe the Perry boat is taking on water and there's not a plug big enough to stop it. It's really amazing considering the high hopes so many people had for him when he entered.

What would be great is if he would bow out now and urge his supporters to back Cain. If I know the Republican Party as well as I think I do, when he does, he'll end up endorsing Mittens. Never underestimate the ability of the party to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
