Rasmussen: Perry Leads by 4 Heading into Tomorrow's Debate

The latest Rasmussen poll of likely voters, conducted one week after the most recent Republican presidential debate, shows Rick Perry with a 4-point lead (28 to 24 percent) over Mitt Romney. Perry’s lead has dropped by 7 points in the poll (from 11 to 4 points) since his first debate appearance. No other declared Republican candidate is in double digits.

After the two leaders, the poll shows Newt Gingrich, Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain, and Ron Paul in close succession, at 9, 8, 7, and 6 percent, respectively. Rick Santorum is at 3 percent, Jon Huntsman at 2, and Thad McCotter (a Michigan congressman, in case you were wondering) at 1.
