A new poll of Iowa voters shows Herman Cain maintaining support among Republicans in the state, leading Newt Gingrich - who has been surging in recent polls - by a 22 percent to 18 percent margin. Mitt Romney rounds out the top three with 15 percent of those surveyed, according to a We Ask America poll released Monday.
Michele Bachmann and Ron Paul also cracked double digits, each receiving 11 percent of the vote. Rick Perry led the remainder of the field with just 4 percent, while Rick Santorum (3 percent) and Jon Huntsman (2 percent) brought up the rear.
The We Ask America findings contrast with an Insider Advantage poll released Sunday that showed the former Godfather's Pizza CEO leading with 30 percent of respondents, and Gingrich in third with 12 percent of supporters. But Insider Advantage found Romney with an identical 15 percent of support.
Those numbers may validate popular narratives that Cain is slipping as allegations involving sexual harassment charges during his time as president of the National Restaurant Association have surfaced, while Romney is unable to attract Republicans beyond his core constituency. Gingrich, the conventional wisdom goes, could be where conservative Republicans defect if Cain proves untenable.
But there were some encouraging signs for Cain. 17 percent of women chose Cain, despite the allegations - more than any candidate other than Romney. And Cain's support seems concentrated among older Republicans, who traditionally are among the most likely to vote.
I believe Newt is currently a resident of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
We cannot let up driving home the point and exposing the fact that Mitt Romney is nothing other than a duplicitous liberal from Massachusetts the establishment Republicans are trying to foist on us.
WHATEVER IT TAKES ....!!

As governor, Romney worked to reassure liberals
###
Mitt Romney was firm and direct with the abortion rights advocates sitting in his office nine years ago, assuring the group that if elected Massachusetts governor, he would protect the state’s abortion laws.
Then, as the meeting drew to a close, the businessman offered an intriguing suggestion — that he would rise to national prominence in the Republican Party as a victor in a liberal state and could use his influence to soften the GOP’s hard-line opposition to abortion.
It would be interesting to have different winners in Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina. What then?
SLAM DUNK!!
Iowa and New Hampshire have an inflated sense of self-importance. South Carolina is important, but it is a reliably Republican state.
Florida is both a swing state and takes a large enough sample that it actually means something.
However, if it is a 3-way tie going into Florida, I think the momentum would be on the side of the South Carolina winner.
Here comes Mr.Newt.
Woo-Hoo!
I so agree with you!
YES! BTTT your comments!
NO ROMNEY!
Thank God for FR and for Jim Robinson!
Yes!
The young gray-haired socialist meets with Reagan...
>> “So there.” <<
.
And rightly so, IMO.
Wow, Bachmann and Paul are clobbering Perry!
Noot is very much a global socialist/establishment goon.
America does not want and will not elect an isolationist who lives under a rock. We know because Pat Buchanan was beaten like an anarchist drum
We live in the world not under a rock off in a field somewhere
Looks like Huntsman is closing in on Perry. Perry better watch out!!!!
Thanks for exposing yourself as a globalist socialist.
What you fail to understand, because of your tubular vision, is that it is more likely a person thinks globally and is a capitalist then be a socialist.
Capitalism made the global economy in spite of those who lack the experience and knowledge to know it.
I’m very proud to be part of the global business economy
