“There’s reason to view these results with some skepticism, since Rick Perry isn’t a declared candidate and the NBC/WSJ and ABC/Washington Post polls this week showed a different picture, but this will certainly help intensify the drumbeat for the Texas governor,” according to Politico. “Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney still leads the race for the Republican nomination — but just barely, according to a Fox News poll released Thursday.
“Romney’s support among GOP primary voters has dropped 6 percentage points in recent weeks, from 23 percent in early June to 17 percent in the new poll … Close behind Romney is undeclared candidate Texas Governor Rick Perry at 14 percent. Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann comes in at 10 percent.
“And from CNN:
“A CNN/ORC International Poll released Friday indicates that 14 percent of Republicans and independents who lean towards the GOP pick Perry as their first choice for their party’s nomination, just two points behind former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney …
“The survey indicates that Perry’s biggest supporters are men: He wins 20 percent among Republican men, compared to only eight percent among GOP women. Perry also has a lot of strength among tea party supporters. He is in first place, with 22 percent, among Republicans who say they support the tea party. Among non-tea partiers, Romney is in first place, with 22 percent, and Perry drops to five percent.”

Jeff,
Is America ready for another president from Texas? I think that might be the biggest question Governor Perry has to address.
Romney is collapsing and they have not even attacked him yet on his healthcare plan and Congresswoman Bachman is in trouble with the former Chairman of the California CRP coming out with a statement that she is not qualified to be President because of her headaches.
All of this and still no ones seems to know what Sarah is going to do!
John
Sarah will lead helicopter hunting parties for the rest of her life.
Sister Sarah will keep stirring things up in the media (as long as we continue to pay attention to her) just enough to keep the bling rolling in. Ka ching ka ching ka ching …
In the end I think that is why Sarah does not run: The salary it to low for the office and she gets to make a whole lot more money without all the hassles.
John
I predict her leather jump suits will be on sale to pudgy middle aged Tea Party women and frustrated right wing men on dominatrix sites by 2014.
Um, John, nobody cares what Sarah is gonna do…
Kate
Kate,
Tell that to her millions of Facebook friends!
John
I don’t do Facebook John…but I might try Google+…oh, and Mozilla on Foxfire has a new app that warns you when you hit a Newscorp site or holding. Pretty fly! Kate
I have avoided Facebook as well, but now appear to have been sucked into the Google world. I don’t even know how it happened!
John
Sign up when you can so you protect your name….and let it sit. That way you are covered. I think they are opening wide open, but if you need an invite let me know.
I only joined FB in order to get the latest news of what our grown children are doing, and to embarrass them from time-to-time with my uncool comments on politics and other matters.
Freeflightnewmedia is me. Sorry Jeff. Logged in working on something else on wordpress. It will happen again someday so sorry for that in advance.
