Poll Report: Cain Takes/Increases Lead in Iowa, Florida, South Carolina, and Ohio
Real Clear Politics ^ | 11/11/11

Posted on 11/11/2011 10:49:51 AM PST by icwhatudo

Contrary to some media reports, Herman Cain has not only remained the frontrunner in many states, he has actually increased his lead in the key states of Iowa, Florida, South Carolina, and Ohio.

In Iowa, Cain has gone from being behind behind Romney by 3 points in a CNN/Time Poll taken 10/20 - 10/25 to being ahead by 4 points in an Insider Advantage Poll taken 11/8.

In Florida, Cain has gone from being behind behind Romney by 12 points in a CNN/Time Poll taken 10/20 - 10/25 to being ahead by 6 points in Rasmussen Reports poll conducted 11/8 - 11/8.

In South Carolina, Cain has gone from being behind behind Romney by 2 points in a CNN/Time Poll taken 10/20 - 10/25 and behind 2 points in a Clemson poll taken 10/27 - 11/7 to being ahead by 7 points in an Insider Advantage Poll taken 11/8.

In Ohio, Cain has increased his lead from 5 points over Romney in a Quinnipiac poll taken 10/31 - 11/7 to a 14 point lead over Romney according to a PPP (D) poll taken 11/4- 11/6.

Much "news" will be made with the McClatchy/Marist poll of 347 RV showing Romney ahead by 4 nationally and of polls showing a "surge" by Newt. The MSM is ignoring the real story that throughout the Cain "scandal" his support in key states has increased. (As has his fundraising)

They’ll ignore news of a Cain surge. They just hate his guts like they hated Ronald Reagan.

Really? 347 Registered voters nation-wide? Man, these guys really think the public is stoooooooopid.

What are these jerks going to report if Cain actually starts winning some caucuses and primaries? It is going to be a replay of "Baghdad Bob?"

This is pretty much astounding! And ground breaking that anyone from our side would still be standing, let alone surging! I really am astounded, by which I mean, very impressed. It seems to be the people’s moment! Beating back the media Marxists on their own turf, and at their own game, is heartening. That is what I am astounded about. It’s never been done before.

>>> “ The MSM is ignoring the real story that throughout the Cain “scandal” his support in key states has increased. (As has his fundraising)” <<<

Oh, trust me, THIS is not being ignored. I can hear the scrambling by the establishment and the White House, from my porch. They are in psychological chaos counseling with Rove. LOL!

And because they're trying to hide it, the support for Cain will increase even more. People will believe he's in trouble, and start mailing in the cash.

(Gut instinct tells me the left may have pi$$ed off the black community with this stereotyped blonde bimbo scam.)

It would appear that voters are picking up on the fact that if the Left/MSM hates him so much; he must be the man for the job.

I feel like I am living in a different reality, even with FNC. Chris Wallace highlighting Cain’s tanking polls amongst “women”, Shep looking gleeful reporting on yet “another” accuser, and of course, Rove and his other brothers, Rove.

It’s almost surreal and very disappointing that a formerly Conservatively oriented cable news outlet has been reduced to the integrity level of Politico.

I go here for my news all of the time now.

They've gotten lazy. They get all their news from CNN (or so it seems).

Their claim to fame was a voice for conservative news. There wasn't one. If they turn their back on those who made them, they'll go the way of MSNBC - one viewer (part time).

—It’s almost surreal —

It’s the way I felt until I got rid of TV in the mid-90’s. My stress level went way down.

They don’t poll every day in state polls. These are post smear job numbers.

Those poll numbers were released yesterday and this morning. If you want polling that was taken today, see me in a week.
