A Reuters/Ipsos poll shows Herman Cain's popularity down 9 points with Republicans following the publicity of sexual harassment allegations against him:

The poll showed the percentage of Republicans who view Cain favorably dropped 9 percentage points, to 57 percent from 66 percent a week ago.

Among all registered voters, Cain's favorability declined 5 percentage points, to 32 percent from 37 percent.

Cain insists he is "back on message." Where's he going to deliver it? Late Night TV. He'll be on Jimmy Kimmel Live Monday.

     for you to make a comment without resorting to your best Eddie Haskell impression?

    Or, is that the way you strike back at society for having your butt kicked too many times by the girls in grade school?

    Well, sarcasm is beyond many people.

    Especially when it is used on things they love.

    ... self-selecting poll like the wingers do on Newsmax or Drudge.

    Since it was an online poll, typical margins of error do not apply. Despite that, various recognized methods were used to select as representative a sample as possible and weigh the results.

    I'm sure it's not as good as Gallup, but it's miles ahead of any information you've got.
