Yet another Iowa Poll shows Cain and Gingrich leading with Mitt running third
Polling Company (R). November 11-13. Likely Iowa Republican caucus-goers. MoE not reported. (No trendlines.)
Herman Cain: 20
Newt Gingrich: 19
Mitt Romney: 14
Michele Bachmann: 10
Ron Paul: 10
Rick Perry: 5
Rick Santorum: 4
Jon Huntsman: 2
Gary Johnson: 1
Five things jump out at me:

1.Herman Cain is still riding high. For Iowa Republicans, social conservatism doesn't include the type of behavior that elicits five complaints from women about inappropriate behavior, two of which resulted in a financial settlements.
2.Newt Gingrich hasn't replaced Herman Cain, but he's leapfrogged Romney. Apparently, social conservatives think if you love straight marriage, you should do it as much as possible.
3.Mitt Romney still hasn't figured out how to break his ceiling. It seems like every candidate in the race has imploded besides him, but he still is in third.
4.Michele Bachmann is showing some signs of life. I don't think I've seen her in double-digits in any poll since July or August.
5.Why is Jon Huntsman still on debate stages while Gary Johnson isn't?

rightfully belongs to Jack Nicholson

2. I'm guessing that Newt would be considerably more capable of putting together the ground team
that can actually pull it off. If Newt takes Iowa - I think we'll be seeing the kind of momentum that will likely turn into a Gingrich Juggernaut.

3. I wonder if it's possible the nominee will be the Pillsbury Doucheboy. He doesn't seem to
have much of an organization.

9. His is a strange situation all around. He can't keep a team in place...
He rarely says anything at the debates or in the MSM...he just seems to be standing around. Why? Has he ever lasted this long in a run? God help us if he wins the primary.

I hate to even think of him visiting Iowa for that long. Yuck!

It may be a fight between Cain and Gingrich now.

Iowa will probally be only state Bachman does decent In.

If Paul actully does better than Perry here the once great Perry Is probally done for.

6. I want Cain to win IA, Romey NH and Gingrich SC
I'd like complete chaos in the GOP race, culminating with a third party candidate.

8. I don't think Mitt is even trying in IA --
So the story is less that he isn't winning and more that Prince Hermie is declining quickly...Newt is this week's Anybody But Mitt but Mitt will be the last one standing, I'm sorry to say because he is also the hardest one to beat (although I think he will be beaten in the general)
