Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who was leading Republican contenders just a few weeks ago, dropped in the poll to second place. Herman Cain is now in the top three.

Cain has benefited not only from his debate performances, but also significant media attention after winning the Florida Republican Party’s straw poll on Saturday.
