The next few polls will tell the tale, until then it is the latest poll.
The latest poll was taken from 10/27 - 11/7 and the values only add up to 70%. Obviously they didn’t poll leaners, which came directly off of Cain and Gingrich’s numbers. I don’t know that Cain has a 10 point lead, but the internals on Rasmussen are much stronger: one day sample (true snapshot), larger sample, a higher percentage of results (values add up to 89%). I don’t know the historical accuracy of Clemson’s polls, but it looks like garbage on the surface.
Polls usually show a one week delay in regards to scandal or headlines. In a recent national match against Obama, Cain had a 4 point lead in the poll one month ago, but now trails Obama by 48% to 37%. So, it’s the general public that the GOP and Cain have to worry most about.
Clemson university? Yeah, nothing biased there...
I can’t see how Cain is +6 in FL and down in SC? Makes no sense to me whatsoever. Massive outlier.
