Obama Approval 43% & 39% Say He Deserves 2nd Term
UTICA, NY--Herman Cain is now the runaway leader among Republican presidential primary voters with 45%, more than twice that of second-place Mitt Romney (21%). Rick Perry, who led with 41% in late August, has fallen to 7%, and Michele Bachmann, who led in June and July, now gets just 1%.
President Barack Obama's approval rating among all voters is 43%, and the percentage saying he deserves re-election is 39%.
These results are from an IBOPE Zogby interactive poll conducted from Oct. 11-14.
Cain appears to have won support of voters who previously supported Perry or Bachmann. Romney's 21% is the highest we have shown for him in match-ups with the current field of announced candidates.
Republican Candidates (asked only of the party's primary voters)
If the Republican primary for president were held today, for whom would you vote?
THANK YOU, JESUS!!! THIS IS GREAT NEWS! I WILL CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR MR. CAIN ASK FOR THE HAND OF GOD TO REST UPON HIM, HIS FAMILY, AND THE DECISIONS HE WILL MAKE!!!
Romney never was, but he admired the flavor of the month............
Just ask any Perry supporter they will tell you. ;-)
So that's it!
I knew it had to be an agenda type thing.
By the way, I have talked to 2 Perry supporters (neighbors in for coffee right now) and they don't believe you either.
If you knew Cain better, you wouldn't have come up with this ridiculous conclusion.
You might want to check your tinfoil supply...never know when you might need it.
I like Perry, but you do him no service by spreading false allegations.
My choice of a Vice President is Newt Gingrich.
I could go with that.....I would not necessarily be happy with him as President mainly because of his addiction to marriages....lol. Seriously, he has a few problems and as long as President Cain stays healthy and alive (prayers) than Newt would go along with the President’s agenda which will be Cain.
I’m right there with you I’m PRAYING Romney DOESN’T get the nod. Perry’s done, unless he has the debate performance of his life tomorrow night. I’m on the Cain train, but sadly I will vote for Romney if he is the nominee, AND I HATE ROMNEY. But he’s just a little bit better than Obama. I hope I’m pulling the lever for Cain next November, Palin disappointed me by not running, I’m behind Cain.
I enjoyed calling her on it and seeing her weak excuse as she was unable to provide even ONE instance in which I lied.
Some (but not all) of the Perry people are pathetic. And that one is one of the worst.
I blame poor sarcasm skills!
See post #23 ;-)
I’m not confident yet that the pubbie big wigs won’t pull a fast one.
Newt is our de facto fallback candidate. He’s the only one other than Cain who has positive momentum, and keeping him around as long as possible ensures that he has plenty of opportunities to dissect Romney’s spin.
Santorum should be the first one out. It pains me to say that because I would vote for him over Cain in a heartbeat if he had any traction.

Remembering this poll isn’t scientific, but it’s a fun read, anyway. Hopefully in time, OTHER polls will have the same reading.
I value my integrity and do not lie. Some, apparently, play by a different set of rules and so so at their own peril.
Ditto to all that and loved your post!
Some real Hope and Change on the way!
: )
It occurs to me that electronic polling might better represent the opinion of the majority. For one, it is not based on a sample which is scientifically, but yet arbitrarily, pre-selected. The pollsters have to make certain assumptions about the people they poll for answers before deciding who to call. They can weight their sample one way or the other, and phrase the questions so as to elicit answers that may come out in agreement with themselves.
Electronic polling is more like real voting: It only includes people who take the effort to respond, just as elections are decided, usually, by actual voters, those that take the time and effort to participate. Admittedly, electronic voting is flawed because people who can't or won't actually vote are able to be counted for the purposes of opinion sampling. Someday there may be some way to electronically check the voter registration status of respondents.
We were just kidding. :)
I think.....
LOL
We can interpret events any number of ways. One of my interpretations is that Cain slips back and can't proceed due to monies. The leverage he builds along the way will strongarm Bachmann and especially Perry to the sidelines. Romney will be poised to win the nomination while Cain splits the more conservative vote. They like each other and Romney chooses Cain for his VP.
Of course you could say the same thing about Perry. He needs to get out so Cain can steam ahead. Only problem with that is money. Big big BIG money is needed for Cain to do anything. It isn't there and isn't likely to be there.
Very true. Cain would be a completely different story. Obama has been used to opponents giving him deference in political races. With Cain manning the guns at the other podium -- and using them -- Obama will find he's in a whole new dynamic... one that doesn't portend well for him.
No matter WHO debates Obama, they will be dismissed as the loser out of hand. Doesn’t matter if it’s Perry or Romney or Cain.
