Well, here it is 3 months later, and Perry is ahead of the pack this week in a CNN Poll of September 12. I hope these results tabulate ok:
BASED ON 446 REPUBLICANS -- SAMPLING ERROR: +/- 4.5 PERCENTAGE PTS.
34. Next, I'm going to read a list of people who may be running in the Republican primary for president
in 2012. After I read all the names, please tell me which candidate you would be most likely to
support for the Republican nomination for President in the year 2012, or if you would support
someone else. Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, businessman Herman Cain, former
Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, former Utah Governor Jon Huntsman, former Alaska
Governor Sarah Palin, Texas Congressman Ron Paul, Texas Governor Rick Perry, former
Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, or former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum
