Rasmussen Report: Cain 43%, Obama 41%
Topics: Political News and commentariesWhether Herman Cain's surge in the polls is temporary or has staying power, he's enjoying a big enough bounce to take a very slight lead over President Obama in a hypothetical 2012 matchup. At the moment, the Georgia businessman is the only Republican with a lead of any kind over Obama, although former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney has held a similar advantage several times and is currently trailing the president by just two points.Call me a bit skeptical that this is anything other than, as Ace puts it, Cain getting a generic Republican-type advantage. I'll be greatly surprised if this holds up.The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely U.S. Voters shows Cain attracting 43% support, while Obama earns 41%. Given such a matchup, eight percent (8%) prefer some other candidate, and another eight percent (8%) are undecided. ...
Cain is tied with Romney for the lead in the race for the GOP presidential nomination. Nobody else is even close at the moment.
