Bad debate? No Problem!
Sure, Brit Hume of FOX News said Gov. Perry, "...really did throw up all over himself..." at the Thursday's debate in Orlando. But according to a new poll taken after that debate, Perry still leads the GOP field.
The new poll taken over the weekend shows Perry's support dropping 2-percent to 28-percent. But that still bests Romney who jumps 3 points to 21-percent.
And that's with former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin in the race. Take her name out, and Perry's support jumps to 30-percent.
According to the poll, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney still has a better chance of beating President Obama in a general election, despite trailing Perry.
Here's the General Election Numbers:
Obama: 51%
Perry: 46%
Obama: 49%
Romney: 48%
