Fox News Poll: GOP Race Top Tier Now Romney, Perry and Cain - Dana Blanton

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/09/28/fox-news-poll-gop-race-top-tier-now-romney-perry-and-cain/

Perry has dropped from 29 to 19 in one month after a poor debate performances and a concerted media effort against him. To say that he is finished is premature, there is a lot of fight left and he has yet to successfully launch broadsides against Romney, but the time for him is now.
Romney receives a second look from Republican voters who suddenly have forgotten they hate him. He has an air of competence and calmness, something sorely missing from the rest of the GOP field.
Cain's surge is due to the credibility gained with his win in the Florida straw poll, but is probably also owes a little to the slow filtering off of voters from second-tier candidates like Bachmann and some of the eternally fickle ones that have recently moved on from Perry.

We'll know more when a Big Push is made on Romney. How he handles his Mormonism and his RomneyCare vulnerabilities will be telling, and right now he looks like he will survive them.
