    Perry gains on Romney in new poll; Bachmann also rising

    Rick Perry and Michele Bachmann are the stars of a new Fox News poll released Wednesday evening, with Perry moving into second place behind Romney, and Bachmann close behind, having seen a precipitous rise in the polls over the past few weeks.

    Romney led as the first choice of 18 percent of Republican primary voters, followed by Perry, who was named the first choice by 13 percent of respondents. Michele Bachmann got 11 percent, followed by Rudy Giuliani with 10 percent and Sarah Palin with 8 percent.

    Bachmann has made a fast rise through the ranks; in the last Fox News poll conducted three weeks ago, from June 5-7, Bachmann was the first choice of only 4 percent of voters.

    If Palin or Giuliani opt not to run, the standings remain the same. Romney, Perry, Bachmann, and Giuliani remain at the top if Palin is out, and Palin moves into fourth if Giuliani does not enter the race.

    Bachmann seems to be in a good position as a number of people’s second choice, with 17 percent naming her as their second choice candidate. 18 percent named Romney, 10 percent named Palin.

    But she also seems to have carved out a space for herself as something other than the alternative to Palin; Palin’s supporters split among various candidates if she doesn’t run, with no single candidate gaining more than one percentage point of support.

    The poll was conducted by Anderson Robbins Research, a Democratic firm, and the Republican firm Shaw & Company Research. The results are based on a survey of a national sample of 912 registered voters conducted by land line phone interviews. The results discussed above are based on a subgroup of the sample of 324 GOP primary voters, and have a plus or minus 5.5 percent sampling error.

        you won't find a president who is everything to everyone...but look at Perry's record in Texas....Texas has the most job growth in the nation
      • American Observer 11 mths ago
        I grew up in Texas and totally agree--he'll be WORSE than Bush!
        Perry hates Hispanics and Blacks, too--he's a closet NAZI and related to members of a KKK west Texas chapter.

      The country is in a shambles and the lib democrats are still saying it's bush's fault! Obama owns everything that's happening and it's time for a conservative leader like bachman or Perry to say NO to the clowns in Congress.

        Not everything is Bush's fault. Cheney was the shadow president. He's more responsible, along with his military so conspirators, for getting us into Iraq. I don't even think Bush did the thinking part of the so-called "Bush tax cuts for the wealthy". The party in general supported that. Bush is responsible for naming his friend and Arabian horse show promoter as head of FEMA. Thank goodness there wasn't a successful terrorist attack while he was in. The deficit ballooned, but that was partly the Democratic party's doing. The banks and Wall Street ran amock, They still are and Obama hasn't succeeded in harnessing them, though they are stoutly defended by the Republican establishment. Lieberman prevented decent health care reform. Little is really being done about our environmental problems. . There is plenty of blame to go around.

      O'Romney, a reach across the isle Mcain type of rhino, not a candidate I would choose. He will only expand the O'baama aims. What a choice? Never in the conserative options.
