Cain ties Romney in Arizona poll, Obama holds own

A new statewide poll by the Behavior Research Center shows businessman Herman Cain tied with Mitt Romney in a potential Arizona Republican presidential primary.

The BRC Rocky Mountain Poll gives both Cain and Romney 20 percent of the vote. U.S. Rep. Ron Paul of Texas is next with 9 percent. Texas Gov. Rick Perry grabs 7 percent in the GOP field.

There is a sizable Mormon population here in AZ, so Romney can’t even get a majority here? LOL.

That thought crossed my mind too. Oh well, Mitt should still carry Utah with a 90% margin and another 8% going to his coreligionist Huntsman.

[Graybeard58]

I'm not even a Republican (I'm a "conservative"), and I think that poll is nuts. I think Obama is toast in the traditionally red states that he managed to win in 2008, and likely to lose a few purple states as well.

I believe it will be a huge blow out against Obama in 2012. Admittedly though, I do not have a good track record in calling blow outs, having called it that way in 2000 and 2004. I also thought that 2008 would be a squeaker, with McCain barely pulling it out.

One might think with my record, I'd get out of the predicting business.

And Obama — amidst all his many failures — is beating all the GOPers in AZ. Amazing.

[ScottinVA]

Words can’t express my disappointment that Obama is actually srill in the running. It makes a clear thinking person physically ill.

The FoxNews poll out yesterday showed 52% say their disappointment in Obama's centers around the belief his ideas are good ones and not enough of them have been passed. A very large part of the American electorate still has a jones for Obama.

Mit-wit should STAY in Utah : )

It won’t be that easy. The left is going to pull out all of the stops and the media hasn’t even started showing how biased their going to be.

Arizona only has a six percent population of Mormons.
Try again...

Mitt isn’t from Utah, only worked there for a couple years running the Olympics. He sold the house he had there. How could he “stay” there?

I meet them here all the time. Where do you get your stats ?

[stephenjohnbanker]

” He sold the house he had there. How could he “stay” there?”

Uh....by moving back ?

I don’t think Massachusetts wants him : )

[Ripliancum]

The Graduate Center of the City University of New York conducted a massive “American Religious Identification Survey (ARIS) in the year 2000.

6% of the adult population of Arizona,
14% in Idaho,
3% in Maryland,
3% in Montana,
3% in New Mexico,
9% in Nevada,
4% in Oregon,
57% in Utah, and
3% in Washington state.
They comprise 2% or fewer adults in other states.

He sold his home in Mass. as well. He has a residence in California and New Hampshire, as I understand it.

[stephenjohnbanker]

I would have thought it was higher than that.

Thanks

[Ripliancum]

You probably live in Mesa or Snowflake, which have higher percentages...??

Statewide, it averages out to about 6 percent.

YAY! Go Herman Cain!

“It might mean he’s still keeping Michelle. Don’t get so dirty minded.”

You’re right. Maybe I’ll stop by the local College and get a professor to brainwash me.

[tdscpa]

He better leave his pimp hat and the black “posse” he had with him that I saw on FOX news today if he wants to win outside of the ghetto cities.

[tdscpa]

I don't see how he can lose. He is “challenged” by snow white and the seven dwarfs.

This is the weakest field of republican candidates I have ever seen. They would lose to Biden. Dukakis could beat all of these idiots.

[fortheDeclaration]

Yes, it is a very weak field, but Obama is even weaker!
