Et Tu, Texas?

The latest Public Policy Polling has found Rick Perry to be tanking among Texas Republicans.  In September, he had a commanding 49% lead over Romney's 10%.  Now, Perry has fallen to 3rd place behind Romney and Gingrich.  Fellow Texan Ron Paul is in 5th place.  Here are the numbers:

Romney:  24%
Gingrich:  21%
Perry:  18%
Santorum:  15%
Paul:  12%

In a head to head match-up with Romney, Perry still looses, but it's close.  Romney leads 46-45.  However, in September, Perry lead 72-18.  Clearly, Perry's support has fallen off a cliff in Texas. 
 
What's more, 39% of Texas Republicans now say Perry has damaged the image of Texas.  That's got to hurt.

Perry is a mindless person. I am not going to vote for him in any way. I am from Texas and I do not know what is worse. "A-List of Dallas" or Rick Perry.

Perry is an idiot. Cute but still an idiot. I knew he was an "All Hat and No Cowboy" Texan but I didn't realize the extent of his stupidity. He's still cute though. Oh, I already said that didn't I? Oops!
