Leaked polling shows Cain losing support in Iowa.
Internal campaign polling is showing a decline of support for Herman Cain in Iowa as allegations of sexual harassment dog his campaign, according to a new report from The Associated Press.
“Internal polls of likely Republican caucus-goers [had] showed Cain’s support consistent with The Des Moines Register’s poll in late October, which showed him narrowly leading in the state with 23 percent. The private polls showed Cain still in double digits in Iowa, but markedly lower,” Tom Beaumont of the AP wrote Thursday.
That news is in line with a report from Gallup earlier this week that showed that Cain’s popularity was fading as new details emerged about his alleged incidents of sexual assault. Cain has flatly denied having ever acted inappropriately toward his female employees.
So much for the media narrative that GOP voters don’t care about the scandal.
And good on Hill reporter Justin Sink and his editor for putting the words “sexual assault” in print. If the allegations are true, calling Cain’s actions “harassment” is a just spin.
