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.
Ain’t no Morman, and a liberal Morman at that, winning SC. Either Gingrich or Cain will. Maybe Perry if he keeps up the good debate work like he did tonight. Forget the liberal Romney in SC. Be willing to bet he does not win Iowa either. Has he ever been in the state?
they grabbed on to that ONE poll on friday that showed Cain in 3rd even though it wasn't even a poll of just republicans.
A little more than a coincidence is you ask me, since hardly anyone releases poll on a weekend, meaning when the first polls of the day came out showing Cain still leading and Romney collapsing into the mid teens with Gingrich surging into 2nd, they jumped into damage control mode and released a poll of just a few hundred people including independents to counter what they saw as a potential Romney meltdown over the weekend.
