BOTTOM LINE
Since mid-September, Cain has seen substantial increases in three key areas of his image and support among Republicans nationwide. Recognition of him has risen from 50% to 69%; his Positive Intensity Score has gone from 24 (among the highest in the GOP field) to 34 (the highest); and his share of the Republican vote for the nomination has risen from 5% to 18%.
Cain now leads all other Republicans by a significant margin in positive intensity, is nearly tied with Romney for the lead in the vote, and has room to grow in recognition. The obvious risk is that any major stumbles in the upcoming debates could send Cain's vital signs in the other direction, mirroring the declines in support seen to date for Perry and, previously, for Bachmann and Gingrich. Gingrich has recently recovered slightly in positive intensity from the very low readings he had during the summer, but he has yet to return to double digits in Republican vote preferences. Through it all, Romney's positive intensity and support for the nomination have been remarkably stable, albeit modest.

Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Romney Perry Cain Ad
Really embarrassing
Even my rabidly liberal parents like Cain. Not a good sign for Obama.
Cain is not my pick even in this field, but I will gleefully support him over Romney.
Good for them, Cain and us all.
I like that add.
Not a good sign for Cain either.
Why, because they parents may end up voting for him?
Why, because my parents may end up voting for him?
I guess because if Cain is able to attract libs then he may have liberal tendencies also?????
Even if his name is Herman Cain, we don't need to continue this mistake for another four years.
Who are you voting for?
The loonies are not exactly where the power lies and I hope the independents are ready to go with another no-record candidate despite what happened the last time.
Name recognition:
Romney - 88 (up from 80)
Gingrich - 87 (up from 75)
Perry - 85 (up from 78)
Bachmann - 83 (up from 75)
Paul - 80 (up from 75)
Cain - 78 (up from 58)
Cain still is giving up a 12.8 percent advantage to Romney. He’s narrowed the gap, but still hasn’t caught up yet. The gap was 38 percent at the end of August and is now 12.8 at the end of September.
All Romney ever had going for him was the veneer of “he’s the most electable.”
Once he loses that, he’s toast permanently.
He'll get all the name recognition he could ever dream if he gets the nomination but probably not the kind he'd want. I'm not convinced that Obama cannot win the election and Cain will need to rise to the occasion.

Yes, a few of our fellow freepers have gone so far as to claim the 999 plan is just "sloppy reparations."
The guy has had a life filled with achievement, hard work and success piled on success.
The lawyers and professional politicians have had the past seventy or so years to run the country into the ground, and they've done a proper job of it.
Myself, I'm willing to listen to the “novice” and see what he comes up with.
Are you insane?
Do you think they have a "President" school that hands out certificates or something?
Biden has more "experience" than anyone in the administration, and he's probably the only american politician that could run us into MORE potholes that Obama has.
