71%? I wish that were true but I think it’s a bit skewed right now.

I find Perry at 3% on a conservative website to be unbelievable. He shouldn’t be polling above 1%.

I have to say, I think this is a totally rigged poll. And I don’t normally say that. But here’s why:

I was doing a few searches this morning related to Cain, and then this ad popped up with this poll on it. “Do you really support Herman Cain? Urgent Poll.” So I clicked on it. It gives you the opportunity to vote, but then they ask for your email address, and only valid email addresses will be counted in the results. I didn’t give them my email address (don’t need more spam), so I didn’t get to vote.

But my point is I think the poll was TARGETED to people who were already showing interest in Cain based on what they are searching on the internet. So naturally it is going to be heavily, I mean HEAVILY, skewed towards Cain.

(Outside of that moron Ron Paul), Rick Santorum is the one to watch tonight, he is going to be the most anti-Herman Cain and absolutely foaming at the mouth in desperation at the current GOP frontrunner. I cannot stand to watch it. Herman Cain is really going to put this man in his position, no matter how rude and interrupting and in need of Prozac he will come off needing tonight. Poor Rick. Truly the last hurrah. And to lose to a complete Washington Outsider with little beltway experience must be particularly hard to take. Seriously, the pit bull approach is just not going to cut it.

Yeah, that makes sense. Newsmax has done the same thing with other candidates at different times.

Be sure and scroll up to see other October polls (newest listed last)

I’m affraid so-

The leader of the pact has to be torn down. Besides, he hasn’t paid his dues and isn’t owed that position. We all know how the GOP works i.e. McCain.

The only one that won’t attack him is Newt (My prediction). He seems to be the ONLY one abiding to that 11th commandment and targets Obama in his critisism. He might point out differences between himself and the other candidate, he might take a jab, but the shallow attacks like you see flung back and fourth (Morman, Amnesty...), or the unrealistic and near surreal fantasy land of Paul aren’t coming from him. Hats off to him!

Most others have been VERY dissapointing in their attacks on each other, i.e. Romney, Perry, Paul. Most of their attacks amount to trash talking, the sort of stuff that office gossip around the coffee break is made of. These guys have embarassed themselves.

To me I hope either a Cain or Newt makes it.

I lost some respect for Bachmann for that bar-room like remark about 999 turned over it’s head. A juvenile remark Coming from Huntsman was to be expected. Bachmann surprised me. Her handlers are doing a poor job in advising her to attack fellow republicans instead of staying above the fray.

Money is the key. The compressed time schedule favors well financed campaigns, namely Romney’s and Perry’s.

Money is the key once you have the nominee. And WHOEVER gets the nomination will get A LOT of money. I’m not concerned they will not.

Nevertheless, Cain has proven (because of not much funds until recent) that message is important too. How else would you explain him moving to the top while Romney and Perry are losing ground?

IIRC, statistically, polling a group as large as 49,000 makes the results a true and proper representation. 49K is a large data group.

That's okay, I'm sure there is another poll here more to your liking.

Well played.

That's gotta hurt.

I've not seen much of Cain in the debates (I like the guy though).

From what little I've seen of the debates, though - Newt is the only one running for president, against BO. All of the rest seem to be running against each other.

I think Newt would be a terrible president, but I wish that more of the challengers would take a page out of his book.

Wow, another online poll with self-selected respondents. When your favorite candidate ends up winning, all critical thinking skills go out the window.

You might want to have a look at this:
