Herman Cain jumps to top of GOP primary poll (beats Perry)

[^_^ 5,021]

A new Zogby poll puts Herman Cain at the top of the Republican field, as the top choice of 28% of poll respondents.

...

Rounding out the top three are Rick Perry at 18%, and Mitt Romney at 17%. Fourth place goes to Ron Paul at 11%.

...

Interestingly, this poll was conducted after the Orlando GOP debate, but before Cain won the Florida straw poll. It’s a huge surge for Cain, who was polling at 12% just two weeks previously, and was floating at a campaign low of 8% two weeks before that.

...

Rick Perry’s numbers in the Zogby poll have cratered, falling 19% in just two weeks. His debut last month was also his high-water mark thus far, when Zogby had him at 41%.

Michelle Bachmann has also been slipping steadily, chugging in at 4%. That puts her just below Jon Huntsman, which is the same way she finished the Florida straw poll. Bachmann was actually the leading candidate in Zogby’s polling from June 21 through July 25… then she plunged to 9% in the next poll and continued sliding down from there.

Romney’s been holding fairly steady in the Zogby poll. He bounces a few points up and down, but seems to hover in the 15-17% range.

...and now they are pushing for Chris Christie to run for president. They obviously need a new front runner.

Christie could eclipse the rest of the field. Literally.

I would seriously consider voting for Chris Christie over Obama. One, because he was born in Newark and that would be awesome. Two, because he's a sane Republican and having a sane Republican President would do wonders for our politics.

Thats why he won't be the Republican nominee.

This is what he had to say when the Jersey tea party freaks starting spazzing out over the whole Sohail Mohammad thing.

"Sharia law has nothing to do with this at all. It's crazy. It's crazy," Christie said at a press conference Wednesday. "The guy's an American citizen who has been an admitted lawyer to practice in the state of New Jersey, swearing an oath to uphold the laws of New Jersey, the constitution of the state of New Jersey, and the Constitution of the United States of America . . . .This Sharia law business is #######. It's just crazy. And I'm tired of dealing with the crazies."

Chris Christie would return the GOP to sanity.

Christie just said, "No". Again.

Michael Reagan will interview him tonight for FNC.

What does that mean?

It means no. You guys are stuck with Perry or Cain.

And Ron Paul?

And Ron Paul?

Oh, you so funny.

He was out-polling Herb Cain in the number 3 spot. It could happen.

Fourth place goes to Ron Paul at 11%

He dropped a slot.

A libertarian win the GOP primary? Never happen.

Well not in 2012 anyway.
