Despite mixed reviews from his debate performances, Rick Perry continues to lead the GOP field. Amassing over 30% of the vote Perry took the September Townhall and HotAir Republican Straw Poll.
Ron Paul's support stayed steady, taking 2nd place for the 5th time since we began polling in January. He has won the straw poll three times. Sarah Palin has also won the poll three times, but not since March.
Herman Cain finally stopped his slide, gaining slightly this month. Michele Bachmann lost support for the 2nd straight month. After peaking at 13.6% she has lost over half of her support, coming in at 6% this month. She had the biggest slide this month at 4.4 points. Rick Perry had the biggest gain with 3.3 points. After bottoming out at 1.4% in July, Newt Gingrich has modestly increased his support for two straight months. He still hasn't completely recovered from early campaign mishaps, nor has he seen the level of support he received back in March when he took 11.75% of the vote.
For the most part however, there were no radical shifts in support this month. This could be an indication that supporters are getting more comfortable with their particular candidate. As we get closer to the primaries it will be very interesting to see if support shifts or if one candidate starts to consolidate the vote.
Thaddeus McCotter dropped out of the race and was subsequently removed from the poll.

On line polls?
At least Mittens isn’t frontrunner in this poll.
Was this tallied at the end of September?
Tallied October 3rd.
Cool. Good news for Perry.
Did you see it is not officially announced yet, but it is reported that Perry has received at least $10 million dollars in campaign donations in just these last six weeks? I checked for an official announcement on his Perry for President website, and the total is not there yet, but here is US News and World Report leaking a $10 million dollar plus donation tally for the third quarter campaign period:
What will hi Fangirls do then ,,, go back to knitting?
You can also not skew the poll. You can only vote in it one time. You find most of these other polls out are skewed and spun to get a result they must have...that Perry is third or fourth...which this poll has proven different or closer to the truth in Perry’s numbers.
I remember when the Hermanator won the Florida straw poll you Perry people were on here telling us how worthless these straw polls are!!
So I went back and checked that thread and guess what HERE YOU ARE:
***********************************
Herman Cain wins Florida straw poll in stunning victory; Rick Perry in deep trouble
To: iowamark
First off...straw polls are meaningless...if they were so right then why did Bachmann only received 1.5% when she won the last straw poll?
Now that me straighten out the headline:
Herman Cain wins Florida straw poll in stunning victory; Rick Perry Mitt Romney in deep trouble

ROFL!
Internet poll, ROFLOL. HEE, HEE
I heard the 10 million but also a 15 million figure. He raised it in 6 weeks compared to 3 months the others had.
These people act like we don’t know how email works, take your little email list, copy all, say go here and vote. Damn look at the acorn the blind hog found. How damn silly, run and post meaningless results as news. Now that is grasping at straws.
When it is numbers you need to have these polls are fine when the numbers go against what you are looking for the numbers are a joke. I agree polls aren’t something to gauge anyone’s perforance by. But boy when polls like this CBS comes out and it lines up with your boy...it is great when this poll comes out it sucks and is nothing at all.
An internet STRAW POLL no less. I thought straw polls meant nothing per Perry supporters.... Hmmm.
Paul in second? Come on get real.
Money can't buy you love.
Voters will figure out Rick is the only one standing between Romney and the nomintion. It will take time but it’s going to come after the vetting on TTC. All the way Baby.
Mod needs to move this garbage to chat.
Agree!!! It’s goin’ to be fun to watch.
