From Eric Dondero:

Do you feel the earth moving? A major landscape change in the GOP field. Mitt has consistently led Obama in Rasmussen, Gallup, and other major polls by 1 to 3% last few months. Now there's a new leader.

Rasmussen reports:

For the first time this year, Texas Governor Rick Perry leads President Obama in a national Election 2012 survey. Other Republican candidates trail the president by single digits.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows Perry picking up 44% of the vote while the president earns support from 41%.

Romney's down to a 43% to 39% spread. That's a loss of a stunning 5% for Romney. And an increase of 3 for Perry. (Loss of 2% for Obama).

That's huge. Mitt has always maintained the mantra of, "Yes, he's not that great for Tea Party, conservatives and libertarians, but he can win." Not anymore.
