Lol. I know. And it looks bad, too. I have been buried all day and was SO EXCITED the minute I got online to see a new post debate poll out! Plus I thought since we can’t link USA Today maybe it just wasn’t on FR yet.

[MestaMachine]

Knock it off. nobody pushed your buzzer.

[org.whodat]

Amazing Perry is within the margin of error of his friend judy’s standing at this point in time for the last election. LOL

[DRey]

That’s one way to look at it! Just don’t be offended when others see it the other way. I promise we’ll all acknowledge she’s in and treat her peeps better than we have been treated by them...when she’s really in!

More interesting poll numbers today too.

The only notable conern is that Mitt Romney rose in one area - the most electable. However, even in that area, Perry maintained his front runner slot.

Rick Perry the Top Choice Among Conservatives
Monday, September 19, 2011

(Excerpt)

For the second month in a row Rick Perry leads the Daily Caller/ConservativeHome poll.

(snip)

Among active conservative voters, Rick Perry is still looking strong one week after his widely-panned debate performance. Mitt Romney has seen a significant boost, while Michele Bachmann’s attacks on Perry in the debate didn’t do much to slow her downward slide.

In the latest Daily Caller-ConservativeHome poll, which was fielded September 13-16, 2011, Perry’s numbers on electability held fairly constant from August and kept him atop the field, but it was Romney who arguably had the best month.

Perry’s percentage held steady at 46%, while Romney rose from 19.8% to 34.4% since August.

First Choice for President:

Rick Perry — 35.2%
Mitt Romney — 18.7%
Michele Bachmann — 14.1%
Herman Cain — 11.8%
Newt Gingrich — 8.2%
Ron Paul — 7.4%

Most Electable:

Rick Perry — 46.8%
Mitt Romney — 34.4%
Michele Bachmann — 7.0%
Ron Paul 3.3%

As Michele Bachmann continues to lose favor with conservatives,

Businessman Herman Cain is on the rise.

Ron Paul is surprisingly unpopular with conservatives

I stealz your pic ok? :)

[shield]

Of course!!!

There’s a poll that asks GOP voters if your candidate is not in the race who is your next choice. Paul voters Cain voters Bachmann voters etc. call say Palin.Get the picture.When she runs she wins.

[ncalburt]

Does she have a few weeks before the FL and MI primaries are closed?
Her entry may undo the ugly Mittens - Michele Bachman alliance at these debates.
Newt is right , attack the Marxist and his Media drones and stop attacking one another.
But Mittens and MB are doing exactly what the Soros media was hoping for.

[DRey]

When she runs she wins? She's served almost two years as governor then quit to "go rogue." That was...helpful.

Perry is undefeated in 28 years and is actually in the race. I'll take those odds.

[smoothsailing]

When she runs she wins.

Well. if she's such a sure thing, she should run in the Democrat primary, and knock out Obama once and for all.

[Prokopton]

Perry is undefeated in 28 years and is actually in the race. I'll take those odds.

If he wins, I hope there is no complaining about the obvious, i.e. we just elected another career politician.

[littlesorrel]

She’s running. Perry is Crony capitalism.

[Outlaw Woman]

thanks :)

[littlesorrel]

Does anyone think Perry would have beaten Hutchinson in Texas without Palin or won Congress without Palin.Where was Perry, Romney in Wisconsin.Bunch of wimps.

[DRey]

Perry would most definitely have beaten Hutchinson without Palin. That wasn’t even close and was totally hyped by the RINOs that wanted Perry out. It was nice that Palin endorsed him. She didn’t have anything better to be doing. I felt like it did her a lot of good to be on a larger stage with Perry, as well. But if you’re thinking Palin is responsible for his re-election, think again.

[DRey]

Lol! “Perry IS....crony capitalism,” starring Sarah Palin from the peanut galleries of Wasilla.
