Results of a SurveyUSA poll of the state of California: 64% say Herman Cain is unfit to be President of the United States (including a majority of Republicans, Democrats and Independents, a majority of men and women, and a majority of whites and blacks). 48% say Cain should drop out of the race for president. A plurality say there is a “pattern of wrongdoing.” Interviews were conducted after a woman on 11/07/11 described an unwanted advance by Cain, but before Cain’s 11/08/11 press conference and before the identity of a 2nd accuser was made public. Tea Party Sees Cain Allegations Through Unique Prism: Among those in CA following the story, members of the Tea Party see the allegations against Cain differently than the rest of the state sees them. Tea Party members are 3 times more likely than the rest of CA to say there is “no evidence” of wrongdoing by Cain. Tea Party members are half as likely as the rest of CA to see a “pattern of wrongdoing” by Cain. Tea Party members are 3 times more likely to say Cain is “fit” to be President. Tea Party members are 1/3 as likely to say Cain is “unfit” to be President. Tea Party members are 1/3 as likely to say Cain should drop out of the race. Tea Party members are 4 times more likely to say Cain has behaved better than most other politicians. Tea Party members are twice as likely to say that the Cain accusers end up looking worse than does Cain. Tea Party members are twice as likely to say Cain has said all he needs to say on this topic. Cell-phone respondents and home-phone respondents included in this research. On behalf of KABC-TV in Los Angeles, KPIX-TV, in San Francisco and KGTV-TV in San Diego, SurveyUSA interviewed 1,000 CA adults 11/07/11. Of the 1,000 interviewed, 587 were following news stories about Cain and were asked the substantive questions. The survey was conducted multi-mode. Respondents who use a home phone (81% of adults) were interviewed on their home phone in the voice of a professional announcer. Respondents who do not use a home phone (19% of adults) were shown a questionnaire on their smartphone, laptop, tablet or other electronic device.

You're putting up some good articles my friend. Carry on, indeed! :)
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
Not everybody in California is against Cain. "Herman Cain's Jobs plan doesn't involve giving you a job. It involves you giving him one... "
