Well here's the peak of Cain's polling numbers. Gingrich has always done better with PPP than any other pollster. He hasn't hit over 11% in any national poll since polling at 20% in a PPP poll back in May. I thought Cain and Perry really stunk up the joint last night so I'd expect them to deflate from here, with Romney picking up most of the support. Bachmann and Paul's strong performances should put them them back on the upswing.
There's a ton of interesting **** if you look deeper into that poll. E.g.:
Q18 Do you think that Herman Cain is too liberal, too conservative, or about right?
Too liberal .................................................. ..... 6%
Too conservative...................................... ....... 8%
About right .................................................. .... 71%
Not sure .................................................. ........ 15%
Q17 Do you think that Rick Perry is too liberal, too conservative, or about right?
Too liberal .................................................. ..... 17%
Too conservative...................................... ....... 14%
About right .................................................. .... 53%
Not sure .................................................. ........ 17%
Q16 Do you think that Mitt Romney is too liberal, too
conservative, or about right?
Too liberal .................................................. ..... 31%
Too conservative...................................... ....... 5%
About right .................................................. .... 51%
Not sure .................................................. ........ 13%
Also:
Q20 If the Republican race for President came down to Mitt Romney and Hermain Cain, who would you vote for?
Mitt Romney............................................ ........ 36%
Herman Cain.............................................. ..... 48%
Not sure .................................................. ........ 16%
