Herman Cain Surges to the Top of the GOP Presidential Field in New Zogby Poll – 9/27/11

A new IBOPE Zogby Interactive Poll shows Herman Cain shooting to the top of the GOP Presidential Field, as Rick Perry falls back to second, just ahead of Mitt Romney:

ZOGBY: Rick Perry has tumbled by more than 20 percentage points over the past month among Republican presidential primary voters and is now second to Herman Cain, who leads the field with 28%.

Mitt Romney received little benefit from Perrys fall, garnering 17% of the vote for third place.

As for President Barack Obama, both his job approval (42%) and the percentage who believe he deserves re-election (37%) are little changed from recent polls, but he does seem to be winning back some supporters who have been disappointed in his job performance. . . . Read More

It’s interesting to note that Perry’s drop has benefited Herman Cain the most by far, and Romney only slightly. Newt Gingrich has made a move up, while Michele Bachmann and Rick Santorum have actually dropped since the last Zogby Poll came out.
