Is Herman Cain’s race an impediment for GOP nomination?
Herman Cain (pictured), scored an impressive first place showing in the recent Presidency 5 straw poll in Florida.
Mr. Cain is well-liked among the current field of republican candidates. A new Zogby poll echoes these sentiments, putting Cain at the top with 28 percent, followed by Perry with 18 percent and Romney at 17 percent. Michele Bachmann continues to plummet, from a first place rating of 34 percent on June 30 to 4 percent now. These shifting fortunes suggest a softening of the field, questions concerning the electability of some candidates, and the voters’ desire for alternatives to Perry and Romney.
But people are asking whether his presence at the top is a fleeting and a mere flicker, or if Cain is in it for the long haul.
Given his popularity, the question remains is whether Herman Cain’s race remains the impediment to his capturing the Republican nomination.
