Zogby: Big Mo Jumps on the Cain Train

Too good to be completely true? Probably, but “wow” nonetheless:

Bonus at the same poll: Cain 46, Obama 44.

Shoot, probably 1/3 of the country still doesn't even know who Herman Cain is yet, which is anecdotally confirmed in a somewhat entertaining TV report from Tampa:

But outside Republican political circles, has Cain become a recognizable figure with John Q. Public?

When we showed pictures of Herman Cain to folks outside the very same bookstore where he was signing autographs, some recognized him, but others had a tough time placing his face.

“Probably some congressman, I don't know,” said one man.

But there were several who also recognized Cain right away, which may not have been the case as recently as a month ago. Cain's recognition factor may not seem too bad, considering he's a relative newcomer to the national political stage.

But the presidential candidate and former CEO of Godfathers Pizza only did about as well as this another pizza exec whose picture we flashed, not running for office: John Schnatter A.K.A “Papa John”.

Also, to be perfectly fair, neither man was as universally recognized as the third pizza picture we shared, the Little Caesar's guy.

Still, only one of these pizza players has pie-in-the-sky aspirations of delivering a victory November 2012.
