This week's Fox News national poll confirms presidential candidate Herman Cain's staying power with 24 percent of Republican primary voters choosing him as their first choice for the nomination.  Cain's momentum in the polls has quadrupled since late August with a jump of 18 percentage points.

"Herman Cain's solutions and ideas are not just for one segment of America but for the benefit of all Americans.  Herman's message of inclusion and his straight forward problem solving approach are attracting many supporters," said Mark Block, Chief Operating Officer for Friends of Herman Cain. 

The Fox News poll is the second major national poll to be released since last week's CNN debate showing Cain's lead of the Republican field.
