Recent polling from two independent public opinion firms report Herman Cain as the clear frontrunner in the Iowa Republican Presidential Caucus.  Cain leads 30% to Mitt Romney's 22% according to Public Policy Polling and Cain leads 26.4% to Romney's 18.1% in the InsiderAdvantage/Majority Opinion Research survey.

Cain leads Romney two to one (38-19) among the 42% who say they are firmly committed to their first choice candidate according to Public Policy Polling.  "Herman Cain not only has the lead in Iowa, he also has far more committed supporters than Mitt Romney," said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling.

"These poll results come from the hard work and dedication of many, many volunteers and supporters in 'The Hawkeye State.'  I am grateful for their efforts and look forward to sharing my vision and plans with more Iowans this Saturday at the Iowa Faith & Freedom Coalition - 11th Annual Fall Dinner/Presidential Forum," said Mr. Cain.
