Cain Pulls Even With Romney on Economy: Poll

[dkf]

Businessman Herman Cain is almost even with Mitt Romney in his appeal as an economic leader to Republicans and Republican-leaning independents.

While Romney barely leads on the economy, he maintains his overall advantage as the candidate Republican supporters most want to see as the nominee, at 24 percent, with Cain second at 16 percent on the eve of a Bloomberg-Washington Post Republican presidential debate that will focus on economic issues, according to a national poll by the two news organizations.

The poll results underscore the public’s unsettled mood on the economy. More than half of all Americans think another financial crisis is likely within the next several years. Much of the nation doubts the winner of the presidential race will affect the economic situation or their personal finances, and those who do are about evenly split on who would do better.

Asked which candidate would do the most to improve the economy, 22 percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents said Romney, 20 percent Cain, a former chief executive officer of Godfather’s Pizza, and 12 percent Texas Governor Rick Perry.
