Today, new polls show the former pizza maker surging ahead of President Obama and his closest GOP rival, Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney.
Whether Herman Cain’s surge in the polls is temporary or has staying power, he’s enjoying a big enough bounce to take a very slight lead over President Obama in a hypothetical 2012 matchup. At the moment, the Georgia businessman is the only Republican with a lead of any kind over Obama, although former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney has held a similar advantage several times and is currently trailing the president by just two points.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely U.S. Voters shows Cain attracting 43% support, while Obama earns 41%.
According to Rasmussen Reports, Cain is tied with Romney for the lead in the race for the GOP presidential nomination. Nobody else is even close at the moment.
Do you think Herman Cain can beat President Barack Obama in 2012? Talk to me people.

@Flo,
I couldnt have said it better. I would support Sarah McPalin before I vote for this fool. At least I know the Obama’s are two great minds working together (Michelle is really the one running shit).
Now I don’t agree with how Obama is trying to compromise with the Repubs. but at least he is aware of the domino effect. No matter how many #’s or slogans they come up with the gap is not going to be filled until millionaires & billionaires pay their fair share, Wall Street stops playing “Big Bank Takes Little Bank,” and corporations are properly taxed.
They are hoping to snatch the black vote because they know we are not voting Republican unless its a black candidate (most of us). Knowing this man doesnt have a chance in hell of running this country.

My sister who is UNC educated (semi-ivy league) has been unemployed for almost 2.5 years. Not for lack of looking. And her skills can’t be THAT obsolete b/c she was employed with the same company for 15 years prior to her layoff. She can’t find work doing ANYTHING. Wal-Mart, receptionist, maybe. And she DID go back to school to get re-trained and now she is finished with THAT and still can’t find a job.

So don’t be so quick to say that 6 months is too long.

People are not realizing that this is a whole new economy.. These corporations are sitting on their money and not hiring.. And yes there is discrimination and not just for race either…they are discriminating for age, weight, and for being unemployed in the first place. Lots of places will not hire anyone who is currently unemployed. Really it’s all a ruse they are sitting this out to get President Obama out. They are sitting on trillions of dollars. The people lucky enough not to have lost their jobs so far in this depression (yes depression no recession) don’t realize the game has changed. They still think it’s the days when just about anyone could waltz into mickey d’s or wal mart and get a job just to hold them over. Well Mickey d’s had over 1 million applications for 50,000 openings in April and Wal Mart can’t hire everybody and they really not interested in you and your masters degree cause they know you ain’t gonna stay. It’s very easy to be highly educated and experience and be unemployed for more that 2 years. In fact it’s more likely a person and their 2 or 3 degrees is unemployed cause the don’t want your educated azz threatening their position.

People want to call Barack Obama a house negro…if we’re going to use plantation slave analogy Herman Cain is the house negro who told on his own and got them lynched. Born in the field, he is the 5th generation posterity of a slave African and one of the first mayors of the town. His ancestors were encouraged to interbreed with non-mulatto and field slaves. As a youngster, the master recognized his ancestry, adorable looks, and his high I.Q. thus took him away from his mother, a field slave, into his home and educated him. He had to take the disposition as the tattle-tale negro because no one in the field had his back, as he’d made it clear that he was better than them. He could only trust himself and did whatever he had to in order to survive.
So it doesn’t matter what mask they put on the politics, government, of this country – a mulatto one or a black one. It doesn’t matter whether the black ancestry is native or foreign rooted, it’s still all the same ole bullshit.
