CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa- The KCRG-Gazette-Iowa State University poll of more than 1200 registered Iowa voters came out Thursday.
Three candidates took nearly two-thirds of the overall vote.
Herman Cain was at the top, with 24.5 percent. Not far behind, Texas Representative Ron Paul. Mitt Romney took about 16 percent. All other candidates polled in the single digits. When asked for a second choice, voters picked “can’t decide” more than 20 percent of the time, leaving a large gap of uncertainty in the race.
In a somewhat surprising twist, Herman Cain polled better among women than other candidates in the poll. The results gathered during rampant criticism of Cain for sexual harassment allegations made against him in the 90’s.
Cathy Grawe is a registered republican and Herman Cain supporter. She’s met Cain twice in person and says both times she was very impressed with him.
“In his heart, I know he’d make intelligent decisions good decisions,” Grawe said. The Coralville grandmother says she was not swayed by the allegations telling us she believes it’s mostly just politics.
“They’ve seen enough character assassination to know you have to take everything with a grain of salt,” she says.
Not everyone is convinced Cain can shake the allegations and capture independent and undecided voters.
“I just don’t think he could really, because it isn’t a good thing to hear about him,” said Yvonne Theel, a democrat from Marion.
“I think it’s going to be harder for women, because it’s a more sensitive issue,” said Angie Johnson also from Marion and a democrat.
But Grawe says she firmly believes, if Cain can make it through the caucuses, the allegations might take a back seat to his economic policies.
“As little traction as it’s gotten,” said Grawe, “I tend to think it won’t come back up again.”
polls...I give up. I thought I saw an Iowa poll with Newt leading the pack and he’s not even mentioned here. I’m not really a Newt fan, just hating all these crazy polls.

Democrat detractors... Surprise! /sarc
University/college polls are suspect at best IMO.
What ??? Bill Clinton factor ??
Just kidding...
Desperately grasping..
The RINO/DEM coalition is gonna have to redouble their efforts to eliminate the Hermanator. If he wins a primary they’ll never get rid of him.
He’s got my vote over Romney in Michigan.
That poll with Newt leading was Iowa caucus members and this poll is likely voters. Not sure what it all means though.
It bears repeating that only 30% of the people polled said they probably/definitely would participate in the caucus. Also, 22% of those polled stated they were not republicans.
“In a somewhat surprising twist, Herman Cain polled better among women than other candidates in the poll.”
Oh, boy. The media and the willing accomplices aren’t gonna like that statistic!!
Cherry picking won’t help your candidate much. But at least you still have hope.
Well he’s certainly got the albino amphibian voters concerned.
The real test will be Cain v. Obama with black voters....most blacks are socially conservative....and since Obama hasn't managed to visit a church in months...Cain has a good chance of appealing to them...if he can take 15% of Obama's black support...the election is over..
I see when the facts don’t validate you opinions, simply make up the facts.
This is a poll of LIKELY caucus goers.
So better come up with a new lie cause that one is not going to work.

Indeed. Maybe it shows female voters aren’t buying the feminazi/Gloria Allred type of garbage like the lamestream media thinks they should.
