The link below can take you to the national poll of the GOP. Herman Cain’s name was one of the last a few weeks ago but he has gained momentum and is slowly rising in the polls.
Herman Cain rising in the polls is intriguing and questionable. How? He was at 5% two weeks ago in the polls but is now at 17%. The Cain Train’s increase in popularity as a GOP representative brings about opportunities but also conveys challenges. All of this occurs in the mist of him going on a book tour. Many believe it is questionable how serious he is about the presidential election as he planned a book tour for October that will keep him busy. He recently lost his communications director, which may show that his staff does not believe in him. The book is titled, “This is Herman Cain! My Journey to The Whitehouse” and could either hurt or enforce his campaign. Herman Cain seems to be gaining momentum despite his sharp statements. His book is simply about his story to get to where he is now. The book description says that when he speaks other listen and that when he debates, he wins. It also goes as far as saying that if you believe in the future of America then he is the candidate that must be voted into office.
Herman Cain has had a lot to say about Barack Obama and the way he has ran the country or affected people. He had previously said that, “Many African Americans have been brainwashed into not being open-minded, not even considering a conservative point of view”.
View video below:
Discussions have presided in the African American community whether this is true or not and the outcomes have varied both ways. Cain also issued a statement in regards to the Occupy Wall Street protests.
“I don't have facts to back this up, but I happen to believe that these demonstrations are planned and orchestrated to distract from the failed policies of the Obama administration. Don't blame Wall Street, don't blame the big banks, if you don't have a job and you're not rich; blame yourself! ... It is not someone's fault if they succeeded; it is someone's fault if they failed.” Once again these blunt statements may hurt Herman Cain’s campaign but it seems that even his honesty is wont stop his momentum. When it comes to corporations Herman asked the question, “When was the last time a poor person gave you a job?” It seems as though someone who ran a corporation would want to run this country as so. His 9-9-9 economic plans do not seem to benefit the middle or lower class. It is hard to tell how he is gaining momentum or from who. Yet it is clear that Republican advocates are on board with what he is providing as a candidate. When it comes to budget and economy he wishes for a proposal to block spending and debt.
Herman Cain’s campaign is a controversy in itself, as many don’t understand how he has increased in the polls. It could just be a matter of not having any better candidates. When Herman Cain won the straw poll for Florida many Republican advocates said that they simply voted for him because they didn’t like the other candidates and/or how they handles themselves during the debate.
The question of Herman Cain’s momentum is if he is truly succeeding as a Tea Party Member or if the other candidates are simply failing. Herman Cain is causing great controversy within the GOP. After making statements about Barack Obama brainwashing African Americans, theories have struck that when Cain gains momentum Obama loses it. Why Herman Cain is succeeding in the polls. Is he truly a potential candidate? Only time will tell.
