Thank you for getting back to the reality of what a "Straw Poll" is: A popularity contest, among a small sampling of political junkies, many of whom share a common agenda.
A Straw Poll is a "Self-Selection Bias" poll with as little validity as an Internet poll that attracts the hard-core, agenda-driven, political junkies while ignoring the vast majority of regular voters whose opinion actually elects Presidents.
Case in point: Who won the third debate, according to the "Self-Selection Bias" FOX News Internet poll by a very wide margin?
HINT: Who is followed around by a small but very vocal army of hard-core True Believers? (No, not her. She did not debate.)
You guessed it: The BIG winner of the last debate was, supposedly, Ron Paul. (See below)
That is not to say that Cain does not have merit as a viable candidate. That is just saying that, until the first rigorously conducted polls come out after this last debate, it is silly to hang your hat on the results of a Self-Selection Bias poll.
