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.

Nonsense.

This far out polls vs Obama are meaningless. The only polls of any substance are the polls between the GOP candidates.

It is significant that Obama still can’t break 50 percent. That’s bad, bad news for him.

I wouldn’t worry about head to head matchups with Zero yet. Whoever wins the nomination, no matter who it is, will get a huge bump with the media coverage. Then there will be the conventions and the debates... not to mention we don’t know what the enthusiasm gap will be. Head to head matchups are completely worthless until at least September 2012. Romney may be the strongest now on the hypotheticals, but I don’t imagine he’ll stir up much enthusiasm.

Wrong, loser..

It’s Iowa + South Carolina = Nomination

And that’s ALL that matters for Cain!

SC since 1980 has determined our nominee and also led to a Florida win. Face it, if Romney loses those early three states (IA, SC, FL) it’s curtains in Rombot Land.

Scott Rasmussen came on Fox News the last hour to tout Florida with Cain UP 6-11 over Willard and Newt -- and said "Cain has lost NO support."

Right. Also, a shift or a trend usually shows in a national poll before it shows in state polls. What I’m seeing is that Cain has mostly lost support among women and independents. He hasn’t lost much support among his base, which is why he still leads in most primary polls.
