Bad poll, or is Perry really making a comeback? (IMO he's somehow less objectionable than the rest of the field save Paul)

If you look at the average of all polls, there's very little consistency between them.

Something to consider is that Perry actually made a well received speech at CPAC

[HagridOfTheDeep]

Hell, even I'd be willing to give Perry a second chance over half of these loons.

[Mr. Illini]

Paul 16%
Ryan 15%
Perry 11%
Huckabee 10%
Bush 9%
Christie 8%
Cruz 8%
Rubio 5%
Santorum 3%

If this is the best the GOP can put up, they're in even bigger trouble than I had previously thought.

I hate these polls that include Huckabee he's not running...

[Warren 4 Secretary of Everything]

I was hoping Perry would make a comeback. Barfing a few crazy positions, he's actually pretty likeable.

Dems:

Clinton 64%
Biden 13%
Cuomo 4%
O'Malley 4%
Schweitzer 3%

On the GOP side, who leads among....?

men: Paul
women: Paul
age 50 and older: Huckabee/Paul tie
Republicans: Ryan
Independents: Paul
Southerners: Paul
suburbanites: Ryan

While Paul (barely) leads in the South, that's really the source of Perry's strong #s in this poll.

Top 5 in the USA as a whole:
Paul 16%
Ryan 15%
Perry 11%
Huckabee 10%
Bush 9%

Top 5 in the South:
Paul 21%
Perry 20%
Cruz 13%
Huckabee 11%
Bush 10%

Will the numbers for the leading contenders rise from the teens if and when some of them decline to run, or will this just encourage an extremely crowded field?
