“Cain is ahead in Iowa, SC and Florida. The article starts out with a lie, no need to read any further.”

The article is three days old, so it might not reflect all of the most recent (and fluctuating) polling. And yeah, maybe the author is selectively choosing from the various polls.

But I think the overall argument is still valid.
