The latest round of GOP polling is out and it looks as though those sexual harassment allegations against Herman Cain have not hurt his campaign.

The results of a poll of registered Republican voters conducted by CBS showed 61 percent of respondents saying the sexual harassment allegations against Cain are not a factor in their decision.  However Cain has lost support from female voters in the last month.  He is down 13 percentage points among women.  He has also lost some support among Tea Party voters.

The poll shows a tight three-way race currently between Cain, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.  Cain garnered 18 percent of the vote with Romney and Gingrich coming in at 15 percent.  Those percentages are not overwhelming, especially when 17 percent of those polled said they were undecided or didn't know who they would vote for and 14 percent replied "someone else."
