Newt Gingrich Closes in on Herman Cain in Iowa
A poll released on Monday found that Iowa is up for grabs, with former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich catching businessman Herman Cain and five of the hopefuls for the Republican presidential nomination pulling in double digits.
Republican pollster the Polling Company released a poll of the first caucus state that found Cain leading by the skin of his teeth with 20 percent followed by Gingrich with 19 percent. Former Gov. Mitt Romney of Massachusetts took third with 14 percent while two members of Congress -- Ron Paul of Texas and Michele Bachmann of Minnesota -- garnered 10 percent each. The other candidates trailed behind, taking 5 percent or less.
The poll of 501 likely Iowa Republican caucus voters was taken from Nov. 11-13 and had a margin of error of +/- 4.4 percent.
