GOP Candidates in Four-Way Dead Heat
QBy John McCormick - Nov 14, 2011 11:00 PM CT

"Herman Cain, Ron Paul, Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich are in a dead heat as the top choices for Iowans likely to attend the Jan. 3 Republican presidential caucuses.
A Bloomberg News poll shows Cain at 20 percent, Paul at 19 percent, Romney at 18 percent and Gingrich at 17 percent among the likely attendees with the caucuses that start the nominating contests seven weeks away. Economic issues such as jobs, taxes and government spending are driving voter sentiment, rather than such social issues as abortion and gay marriage, the poll finds. Only about a quarter of likely caucus-goers say social or constitutional issues are more important to them, compared with 71 percent who say fiscal concerns.
The poll reflects the race’s fluidity, with 60 percent of respondents saying they still could be persuaded to back someone other than their top choice, and 10 percent undecided. Paul’s support is more solidified than his rivals, while Cain’s is softer. All of the major contenders have issue challenges to address.
“In Iowa, it’s long been a two-person race between Romney and someone else,” said J. Ann Selzer, president of Selzer & Co., which conducted the poll for Bloomberg. “It is now a four- person race between Romney and three someone elses.”

If Ron Paul can muster some of his fire from the 1980's - he will soar. He needs to really start blasting obama daily.
if he simply starts mocking Obama for his communist treason and failed incompetence, he will win easily.
-
He is the only candidate that consistently is gaining support. All others are falling back. Newt will get a small boost but soon his scandals and global warming garbage will backfire on him.

This poll is a good example of what I've been talking about with RP. If you look at the breakdown as to whether or not a campaign contacted somebody in some way, shape, or form, Ron Paul is soaring.
He's running a completely different campaign this time around and it's making a huge difference, IMO. But still polls low outside of the internet, so...

Among likely caucus-goers who say their minds are made up, Paul leads with 32 percent, followed by Romney at 25 percent and Gingrich, a former House speaker, at 17 percent.
Fight on, Ron! Time to end the leftist quest to turn this country into another failed European welfare state.
