Herman Cain Leads Latest Zogby Poll - Newt Gingrich Flames Out
 |
| Herman Cain |
Herman Cain is continuing to build a solid grassroots campaign. While the news pundits, even those on Fox News, seek to dismiss Herman Cain, the voters are not. There is lots of time for him to develop name recognition. As a non-politician he would be a true citizen's president.
The surprised fall in the Zogby polls this week is Newt Gingrich. He has flamed out quickly and fallen to the bottom of the pack with 3% among likely Republican primary voters. That’s down more than 50% from his last poll showing. Pollster John Zogby has indicated in discussion about the poll that it would be nearly impossible for Newt Gingrich to make a comeback. Gingrich was tied with Rick Santorum at 3%, and ahead of only Fred Karger, John Huntsman Jr., and Gary Johnson. Gingrich also had the highest unfavorable number with 17% of Republicans saying they would never vote for Newt.
With 13 possible GOP presidential candidates in 2012, even with some of them not being in the race or have said they are out of the race, the respondents chose eight Republicans ahead of Gingrich: Herman Cain (19%), Chris Christie (16%), Mitt Romney (11%), Ron Paul (9%), Sarah Palin (6%), Michele Bachmann (5%), Tim Pawlenty (4%), and Mitch Daniels (4%).
Herman Cain and former Gov. Tim Pawlenty only had an unfavorable rating of 1% as compared to Newt's 17%. Newt has always been good with new ideas and liked to quote history. It appears he is finding out that Republicans have long memories and remember his personal history and would rather he stick with generating ideas and proposing solutions that others would be more apt at deciding which ones to pursue.
As for the TEA Party supporters, Cain lead there as well gleaning 25% of the vote, Romney and Ron Paul get 9% and Saran Palin is next at 8%. Eleven percent of these Tea Party supporters say they would never vote for Romney, but that is less than the 18% who say that about Paul and the 19% who rule out voting for Gingrich.

In my best Randy Jackson imitation, "Herman is in it to win it"... Text your vote to "Free at last", standard text rates apply...
My hands down favorite...
Unfortunately for us Republicans/Conservatives there is nobody out ther for us in 2012:((!!!!
Must Disagree, I know Herman Cain and he is more conservatives than 80% of those who claim to be Conservatives. And he is a Republican. Also, most of the others looking on the GOP ticket are conservatives. How are you defining conservative?
I'll have to respectfully disagree - CAIN 2012
Cain, Bachmann and Palin are true conservatives Holger. Study up a little more.
Being 'true' conservatives doesn't mean much!...Can anyone of these win against Obama, that's what we have to think of!!!
So the issue was not Conservative but winning. I believe Obama can be defeated in 2012 just like Carter was. Reagan was right when he said Americans cannot abide socialism for long. Also, we will not be sending a McCain out to confront him. Obama just continues to embarrass America and his actions are leading us to the economic destruction of a great nation. The only options that could save Obama is 3rd Party candidates drawing votes and splitting the conservative votes. Something the Obama team is actively going to support.
I believe Cain is the only one who can beat Obama. He is the only one that can prevent Obama from bringing up the race issue. Which, I believe, is the only reason why he won in the first place. So that people like me can now be called racist for disliking democrats and their president. If if weren't for Herman Cain I would still be called a racist for disagreeing and having a deep loathing for our current destroyer.
All we need is a true conservative that can articulate the message, the rest will take care of itself.
Most vote with their pocketbooks, Obama already has a huge drawback going in ..... his socialist policy and the economy.
I work in a prison, and I deal with many African Americans that openly admit they love Obama because he is black. When I talk about Cain they are interested, but assume he is just another rich white CEO. When I show them his picture, they are shocked because he is black. Many of these prisoners are now huge Cain fans. They see him as a "real" black man, whatever that means. They are convinced that the "man" will keep him down, and Republicans will never vote for a black man. Herman Cain will let us win the black vote and the presidency. I will no longer be racist for disagreeing with the president. Not only will the race card be off the table, but I truly believe he will support policies that will help the economy. Everything else is secondary.
