Reuters) – Mitt Romney leads the field vying for the Republican presidential nomination, but fewer than one in four of the party’s voters back him as a surging Herman Cain gains ground, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Wednesday.
Romney, a former Massachusetts governor, is holding on to his support but failing to increase it significantly, according to the survey, which also showed Democratic President Barack Obama facing deep unhappiness among voters about his performance.
Romney was backed by 23 percent of Republicans in the October poll, up from 20 percent in the most recent comparable Reuters/Ipsos poll carried out in June.

I just saw a PPP poll that had Cain at 30% and Romney at 22%. Gingrich is in third at 15% which is weird because I kind of forgot he was even running. I don’t think it will be Herman Cain though. He’s a lot like Obama, he seems like a good idea but in reality probably won’t get anything done.
Too bad Romney is flip-flopping about everything he used to stand for.
I’m a huge fan of Huntsman and I think he is the best candidate up there by far. I really wish he had a chance but it doesn’t look like that is going to happen. Too bad, he would have been great.
Princess, Huntsman is the most overlooked thinker in the race, a really interesting person worth examining. Maybe in the debates remaining we will get to know John and he’ll give Romney a real challenge for #1. I would like to see Romney, Cain and Huntsman neck and neck going into the final lap, now that would be exciting.
