FoxNews Poll: Now Romney, Perry, Cain, In That Order

Over in the sidebar are a couple of polls showing Romney passing Perry in Iowa and Florida.

Now, nationally, Romney has edged back up into the lead.

Romney hasn't actually gained -- it's just that Perry has dropped ten points, with Gingrich and especially Cain benefiting.

The new poll found Cain’s support has nearly tripled among GOP primary voters to 17 percent.

That’s up from 6 percent before this month’s debates, and puts him in what is essentially a three-way tie with Perry and Romney.

...

Perry now garners 19 percent, a drop of 10 percentage points from a month ago. That puts Romney back in the top spot with the support of 23 percent. Last month Romney was at 22 percent.

Newt Gingrich recovered some ground and now stands at 11 percent. Ron Paul receives the backing of 6 percent now compared to 8 percent before the September debates.

Bachmann has fallen to 3%.

No Palin: This poll doesn't exactly track the last one because this time, Palin wasn't included, whereas in the last one, she was.

Where did her supporters go in this poll? Well it seems not to Perry. Most likely to the "flavor of the month," as she terms Cain.
