As doubts about Herman Cain’s viability hardened, and as polls trickled in from all corners of the country, the Republican base last week started to come to a dispiriting conclusion: They were settling for Mitt Romney.
When new polls have come out this fall, the headlines always blare about a Perry surge or collapse, or a Cain or Gingrich surge. Quietly, though, Romney continues to climb. Since Rick Perry’s honeymoon glow began to fade, Romney has climbed in national polls. RealClearPolitics’ average of national polls has shown Romney’s percentage steadily rise from 16 percent on Labor Day to 24 percent last Friday.
