Businessman Herman Cain is fighting allegations that he sexually harassed at least two women while at the National Restaurant Association (which he has denied), yet a new Rasmussen Poll still finds him at the top of the GOP Primary field.
Cain gets 26 percent in their latest flash poll, conducted Wednesday November 2nd. Former Mass. Gov. Mitt Romney gets 23 percent while former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is at 14 percent. Former frontrunner Texas Gov. Rick Perry is down to eight points and Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) only gets two.
Many Republicans also doubt the allegations against Cain. From Rasmussen:
Among Republican voters nationwide, 76% were able to correctly identify Cain as the candidate who was accused of sexual harassment in the 1990s.
Just 13% of GOP Primary voters think it’s Very Likely that the charges against Cain are serious and true. Another 25% think it’s Somewhat Likely. Forty-eight percent (48%) consider it unlikely, but that includes only 13% who say that it is Not at All Likely.
