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.
The only polls I pay attention to are professional , are the straw polls done in person. We all know this is a bogus one.
Actually, I had forgotten I had voted in that poll since it was up for a month...so I went to vote and it stopped me and wouldn’t let me vote. I had used a different email address to and it still wouldn’t let me vote.
ROFLOL, did I say freep mail??? No I did not say freep mail, you do know the staff has a list of contributors and supporters and more than one has an email address. The year is 2011, not 1911. LOL, you are funny.
NO...I’m not going to use the ping list in FReepmail to get anyone to vote in a poll. IF we can’t be honest and up front what can of people are we? I will not act like the libs or DU’ers and do underhanded crap. I consider those types low lifes...count me out of that completely.
Why don’t you move your funky ass to chat. You jump these threads every time you can. Get lost scum bag. I would love to see you in person. You must be pathetic.
I know you don’t shield, and that’s why I wrote what I did.
Often people accuse others of doing things that they do themselves.
Which of them wouldn't need a VP with strong foreign policy ... but all of them would beat what we have now! At least our friends and enemies would know who they are.
Santorum and Huntsman finished below Undecided?
LOL. Give it up fellas.
[you do know the staff has a list of contributors and supporters and more than one has an email address. ]
I may be ‘funny’ but you are snide and ugly acting all the time and everyone knows it. If your way of ‘winning’ something is by tearing down others then I just feel sad for you.
And - I have no idea of what ‘staff’ you are talking about as I don’t belong to any organized Perry group. I post my graphics and try my best to post factual information and I do it on my own without pinging a bunch of people to back me up as so many others do.
Bump to that!!
All internet polls are meaningless and in fact scientific polls at this early stage of the primaries are meaningless. Having said this, I am in total support of Rick Perry.
Easy there tough boy, there are many men supporting Perry and many good women as well. You are writing off Perry very easily and you will end up very disappointed at the end.
I agree with you...now it is important to have someone who has the right attitude about America’s role in the world.
NEVER...When I see everything including the kitchen sink thrown at a man, like Perry...he is the one we need in the WH. There is NO one that can touch Perry in the hate directed at him. So everyone’s ears ought to be open and going HMMMMMMMMMMM...wonder why? What is scaring the sh*t out of them with this man? And here is a good standard Texas saying...REMEMBER THE ALAMO!!! LOL
One of the “right attitudes” is not name your ranch “N#$$er Head” and give free stuff to illegals. He is finished. Adios amigo.
A hundred and fifty Texans wouldn't have died at the Alamo if that place had had a back door.
Gee - did Perry shoot your dog or something?
Every danged thread you show up and snipe. Never contribute to the actual discussion, never respond to questions with anything other than a retarded LOL and an ad homenim.
Could you at least have the same courtesy as Liz and make your posts easily identifiable so I can ignore them. Or preferably be as honest and honorable as 2DV and actually engage in the discussion at hand.
I wasn’t saying you should give it up, I meant Huntsman and Santorum.
