Much like what the government does with unemployment statistics, the following chart represents a 4-poll "rolling average" for the latest 20+ polls listed at RealClearPolitics.com (plus recent weekly national polls from YouGov).

I also weighted the polls by their size. For example, a poll with a survey size of 1000 was weighted proportionately heavier than an 324 survey size.

Weighted 4-Poll Rolling Averages of the latest 20+ Polls listed at RCP [as of Nov 9th]
plus "YouGov" 11/1, 10/25, 10/18 and 10/11 polls,
and Poll Position 11/8, and 11/1 polls inserted chronologically

(Example methodology for this chart is on my profile page)

Time for everyone below Newt to bail out. I don't see how a thrice-married serial adulterer takes the GOP nomination, but I guess it's not 1980 anymore.

Herman Cain’s view on illegal immigration is the best from a Presidential front runner in my lifetime. He’s been talking about how serious the problem is long before he was running for President, so you at least know he actually believes it’s a serious problem that needs to be fixed. That’s one of the main reasons I’m supporting him. Below is Cain’s position on illegal immigration taken from his website.

Fix the Immigration Problems

America is an exceptional nation. We are also a prosperous nation because of our liberties and our free market system. That’s why people from all over the world want to come to America to create better lives for themselves and their families, because we are truly the land of opportunity.

Americans have embraced their role as the world’s premier “melting pot,” welcoming immigrants from every corner of the planet. We readily learn about other cultures, customs and beliefs. We appreciate those who are willing to come to this country and make America a more vibrant and enriched place.

Americans do resent, however, the willingness of some to circumvent our laws and enter our nation illegally. While many, if not most, illegal immigrants are peaceful people simply seeking to provide for their families, some are not. In fact, some are quite dangerous, jeopardizing the safety and well-beingwellingwallingwebbingwillingweldingweltingwallowingwelshingWelbiewelkinwallopingWheelingwheelingwhelmingwhelpingwieldingWebernWeylinlobinglubingwalingwilingWelbie’slibbinglobbingvealingveilingvilleinwailingwhalingwhilingwarblingwobbling of American citizens.

Illegal immigration has only exacerbated illegal activity, such as the horrendous crimes of drug smuggling and human trafficking. Illegal immigrants who are repeat offenders are harder to track, making it difficult for law enforcement to prevent crime. Further, weak borders have caused a compounding problem of terrorists assimilating with illegal immigrants, crossing the border with them and entering the U.S.

Illegal immigration also puts a tremendous strain on America’s entitlement and health care systems. Illegal immigrants are typically uninsured and cannot afford to pay for their medical care, driving up costs for all Americans, even those actually insured. In fact, several hospitals in the U.S. have declared bankruptcy as a result of the costs of caring for illegal immigrants.

We must secure our borders, enforce our laws and promote the existing path to citizenship. Protecting our nation’s sovereignty should be a paramount concern of those elected to lead us, not an afterthought or a reaction once the problem becomes even worse. Further, taking a stand on the issue does not mean one lacks compassion, but instead, that one respects the rule of law and the importance of not becoming a lawless nation.

Herman Cain is the front runner, and Conservatives shouldn't be allowing the liberal media to manipulate them into dropping their support for Cain, by convincing those Conservatives he isn't electable. It's what they did with Sarah Palin, and many started believing she couldn't be elected based on the liberal media. Herman Cain is the front runner, and has had increased donations every time he's been attacked, even before the latest smears. No Herman Cain supporter should let that support wane based on the liberal media who fear facing him in the general election. HERMAN CAIN FOR PRESIDENT 2012!

“But but but, Mr. Tokyo Mr. Tokyo you told us the charges against Herman Cain were credible, HOW can THIS BE Mr. Tokyo?”

The money and support is pouring in for Herman Cain, but we cannot slow down now. Please help him by donating at http://www.hermancain.com/

Also to help join the buzz about Herman go to facebook.com and “like” him. His “likes” have jumped dramatically since the attacks started. Make no mistake Sean Hannity’s BFF Tokyo Rove is watching Herman’s “likes” and so is Romney. THIS is the way to stick it to the GOP establishment! Please tell your family and friends to “like” Herman as well.

Newt closing in on Romney can only be a good thing.

[samtheman]

I’m going with Newt.

Thanks for the post!

Cheers...

They Effed up trying to chuck shit at Cain. Now he has name recognition not only as the man with a excellent record, but the man who they tried to lynch in public.

All three would kick the hell out of Obama. But of the three, Cain is the most trustworthy.

Lets see the proof you bimbos! Lets see it! You aint got it, and you hired a media whore to get out front. Remember the Kalifornia election? This media slut was right there out in front of the cameras with that one.

just last week i thought perry was in the top 3 and gingrich had no chance

however now it is glaringly apparent that perry has no chance and it is Gingrich, Cain and Romney.

the problem is that I see Gingrich and Cain splitting the conservative vote while Romney will hold steady with his liberal conservative share.

[commish]

The question now is who gets that final 5-10% that were still supporting La Raza Rick before his EPIC FAIL last night.

Seriously though - Perry, Bachman, Paul, Huntsman all need to fold the tents and let the final 3 duke it out.
