As expected Cain jumps in popularity

As I predicted back in a June 2nd post Herman Cain is jumping in popularity among the Republican faithful.

The latest poll from PPP shows Herman Cain in 2nd behind Mitt Romney.

Romney leads our newest poll with 22% to 17% for Herman Cain, 15% for Sarah Palin, 9% for Newt Gingrich and Tim Pawlenty, 8% for Michele Bachmann, 7% for Ron Paul, and 1% for Jon Huntsman.

It's interesting that Cain has surpassed Palin as the candidate of choice for the 'I'd rather lose than sacrifice' crowd.
