PPP: Bachmann Now Polling Ahead of Romney Nationally


Left-leaning PPP is showing GOP presidential hopeful Michele Bachmann ahead by a point nationally now with 21% to Romney's 20. Interestingly, undeclared Rick Perry is in third with 12%, followed by Cain with 11% with Ron Paul (9%), Newt (7%) and T-Paw (5%) rounding it out...

Funny then the timing with the big headache story, looks to me like Team Mittens might be in panic-mode... they surely see and feel the momentum going against them has grown to a swell. But while fervent Herman Cain supporter Stacy McCain thought he was witnessing a Bachmann "implosion" as the dubious migraine narrative hit the wire -and understandably found it difficult to condone Rep. Bachmann's Gestapo-like security detail- he did post an interesting bit from Bachmann's son -a medical resident at the University of Connecticut- who says the story is nonsense and she's nothing like "incapacitated" by the episodes . 

My brother has migraines, and all I know is that he works right through them as a diesel technician- it's not pleasant, but he is able to function fine in a dangerous and stressful occupation... fwiw.

Then a WSJ/NBC poll released yesterday as well has Romney still up at 30%, with Bachmann setting at 16%... I haven't looked into the methodology of that one, but consider the trend: Michele Bachmann was at 3% in this same poll just a month ago.

Here Rep. Bachmann weighs-in on the Obammunist-orchestrated faux-debt crisis...
