Following a quick ascendance to the front of the race for the Republican presidential nomination last month, recent polls show U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann steadily losing support.
A Washington Post-ABC News pollconducted between Aug. 29 and Sept. 1 found Bachmann with only six percent of the support among both Republican-leaning voters and the general public. In the month and a half since previous poll was conducted, Bachmann lost about half her supporters. She currently trails Texas Gov. Rick Perry, former Massachussets Gov. Mitt Romney, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and U.S. Rep. Ron Paul of Texas.
The Poll Had A Margin Of Error Of 3.5 Percent.
The official entrance of Rick Perry to the race could be to blame for Bachmann’s dwindling support—Perry leads the pack with the support of 29 percent of Republican-leaning voters.
But Bachmann appears to have larger problems too. Only four percent of those surveyed thought she would be the best candidate to defeat President Barack Obama. Only five percent thought she’d be the best candidate to deal with the economy. And Bachmann’s campaign has recently been wracked by a series of resignations, leading some to speculatethat her campaign hit its high point by winning the Iowa Straw Poll.
