2012 Presidential Election Match-Up: Obama vs. Herman Cain (October 2011)

More Respondents were asked, "If the 2012 general election for U.S. president were held today and Herman Cain was the Republican nominee, would you vote for Barack Obama, Herman Cain, someone else, or haven't you thought enough about it to have an opinion?" The order of the response options were randomized. Ideology is measured on a scale of 1-7, with 1 corresponding to "extremely liberal", 7 corresponding to "extremely conservative, and 4 corresponding to "in the middle." For the purposes of this table, respondents who placed themselves at or between points 1 and 3 on the scale are considered "liberal," respondents who placed themselves at point 4 on the scale are considered "moderate," and respondents who placed themselves at or between points 5 and 7 on the scale are considered conservative.
