Polling this early in the campaign are useless as you well know. It also depends on what organization is doing the polling. Lots of disinformation is being put out to help Obama. Is that your role?
I agree it's early, but when you are running at 40% as Perry was in Florida and after you visit it, give a few speeches and after the people get to know you and suddenly you're trailing Michele Bachmann, that's not a good sign.
