A week ago, PPP showed Perry jumping to a narrow lead in first-caucus Iowa. Now, he has a double-digit lead in what will likely be the third-voting state. Perry tops with 36% to Mitt Romney’s 16%, Michele Bachmann’s 13%, Herman Cain’s 9%, Newt Gingrich’s 8%, Ron Paul’s 5%, Rick Santorum’s 4%, and Jon Huntsman’s 2%. This is a sea change from when PPP last polled the race in June, with Perry not included. Romney led with 30% to Cain’s and Gingrich’s 15%, Bachmann’s 13%, and Paul’s 10%. If Sarah Palin joins the fray, it has no impact on Perry’s dominance but a lot on Bachmann’s standing. Palin would place third at 10% behind Perry still at 36%, Romney at 13%, followed by Cain’s 9%, and Bachmann and Gingrich tied at 7%. Perry would also dominate if the race came down to the top three, with half the vote to Romney’s quarter and Bachmann’s 16%. Romney would narrowly beat Bachmann, 45- 40, while Perry would crush either, 59-28 over Romney and 60-23 over Bachmann. Perry has made a lot of news for statements doubting the science behind evolution and global warming, but he is in the mainstream of GOP thought. Only a quarter of South Carolina Republicans believe in global warming, and 32% in evolution. Romney wins 41-36-12 over Perry and Bachmann with the global warming believers, but Perry wins 59-19-17 over Bachmann and Romney with the deniers. Also, belief in Obama’s citizenship has declined since June, when 42% believed the president was born here and 35% did not. Now, that is more than flipped, 35-44. “People can make fun of Rick Perry for some of his statements but Republicans agree with most of what he’s saying and it’s fueling a large lead for him in South Carolina,” said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. PPP surveyed 750 usual South Carolina Republican primary voters from August 25 th to 28 th . The margin of error for the survey is +/-3.6%. This poll was not paid for or authorized by any campaign or political organization. PPP surveys are conducted through automated telephone interviews. PPP is a Democratic polling company, but polling expert Nate Silver of the New York Times found that its surveys in 2010 actually exhibited a slight bias toward Republican candidates.
