Iowa Caucus: Iowa GOP: Perry 29%, Bachmann 18%, Romney 17%, Paul 14%
Monday, September 05, 2011
Confirming a surge seen in polling across the nation, Texas Governor Rick Perry has moved into first place among Republican voters in Iowa, host state to the first-in-the-nation caucus early next year.
A Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of those likely to participate in the Iowa GOP Caucus shows that Perry is the first choice for 29%. Essentially tied for second are Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann at 18% and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney at 17%. Texas Congressman Ron Paul picks up 14% of the vote, and nobody else currently reaches the five percent (5%) mark. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
A month ago,before Perry officially entered the race, Bachmann and Romney were essentially tied for the lead with Perry in fourth place.
The new Iowa results are consistent with national polling which also shows Perry on top. Perry leads President Obama by three in an early look at a possible general election matchup. Other top Republican contenders are close. The president trails a generic Republican by eight.
lol - well if he gets elected to the PTA that does prove Donald Trump wrong who said he wasn't electable - period!!!
Yet, he's the only guy on that stage who doesn't suffer from it!
Pretty much so!
But as far as his age is concerned, it's yet another reason I want Rand to run in 2016.
