Peter Wehner, Commentary
According to the most recent Gallup poll, the lead in the Republican nomination race has thus far changed seven times since May. Mitt Romney, Rick Perry, Herman Cain, and Newt Gingrich each held the top spot at various points in 2011, with Romney’s standing rising and falling as other candidates surged and faded. Mike Huckabee led the Republican field, or tied Romney and Sarah Palin for the lead, in Gallup polls at the start of the year (both Huckabee and Palin ultimately declined to run).
