Obama trails Mitt Romney in new Quinnipiac poll

Of likely Republican voters, 22% said Romney was their favorite nominee. That's 4% more than in mid-August, but still 3% less than in July. Businessman Herman Cain placed second with 17%, followed by ex-frontrunner Perry, who would have the support of 14% if the GOP’s primary were being held today. Since August, Cain’s support climbed from 5% while Perry’s dropped 10%.
