Perry Jumps to Double Digit Lead Over Romney

Rick Perry jumped to a double digit lead over Mitt Romney in today’s Rasmussen GOP Primary Poll.  The new numbers are Perry – 29%, Romney – 18% and Bachmann – 13%. All others closed below 10%. I had optimistically calculated that it would take a week for Perry to take the lead.

Texas Governor Rick Perry, the new face in the race for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, has jumped to a double-digit lead over Mitt Romney and Michele Bachmann with the other announced candidates trailing even further behind.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely Republican Primary voters, taken Monday night, finds Perry with 29% support. Romney, the former Massachusetts governor who ran unsuccessfully for the GOP presidential nomination in 2008, earns 18% of the vote, while Bachmann, the Minnesota congresswoman who won the high-profile Ames Straw Poll in Iowa on Saturday, picks up 13%.
