IBOPE Zogby Poll: Perry Plummets to 18%; Trails Cain For Lead Among GOP Primary Voters
Obama's Overall Approval Steady at 42%

UTICA, NY--Rick Perry has tumbled by more than 20 percentage points over the past month among Republican presidential primary voters and is now second to Herman Cain, who leads the field with 28%.

Mitt Romney received little benefit from Perrys fall, garnering 17% of the vote for third place.

As for President Barack Obama, both his job approval (42%) and the percentage who believe he deserves re-election (37%) are little changed from recent polls, but he does seem to be winning back some supporters who have been disappointed in his job performance.

These results are from an IBOPE Zogby interactive poll conducted Sept. 23-26 of all likely voters and of likely Republican primary voters.

Donating money to primary campaigns seems like a waste of money, but in Cain's case it could make all the difference now.

Yesterday on Fox News, Cain said one of his big problems in national polls was lack of name recognition, but he said that would change after winning the Florida Straw poll. It looks like he might have been right.

The more conservative of the candidates is gaining ground... may be soon would be a good time for an even more conservative candidate to get in the fight.
