Mitt Romney, Herman Cain, and Rick Perry have separated themselves from the rest of the Republican field, according to a new poll from the Washington Post and Bloomberg on the eve of the news organizations' GOP debate.
Romney leads the GOP field among Republican voters, earning 24 percent of the vote, with Cain following closely, having earned the support of 16 percent of Republicans surveyed. Rick Perry rounds out the top three with 13 percent of voters, while no other candidate cracks double digits. Jon Huntsman notably earned the endorsement of zero percent of the Republican voters polled.
Romney, Cain, and Paul were also the only candidates to rank in double digits when voters were asked who would do the most to improve the economy. Romney was the choice of 22 percent of Republicans, while Cain earned 20 percent and Perry 12 percent.
