It looks like the new hotness may be Gingrich with Cain possible becoming yesterday's news.

Graphs shamelessly lifted from http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/11/11/the-gingrich-surge-has-come/#more-18845
 
Last i saw Cain dropped 11%

This graph is a smoothed trend line averaging several polls. It will be slower to react than individual polls, which is good, as it filters out potential outliers.
 
It appears that Romney is dropping faster than Cain is, which I find surprising. The question now is the same question with Cain a couple months ago: will Gingrich's rise last? A further question would be can Cain pull out of his descent, which so far is pretty mild?

Gingrich would be interesting to have win, since he went nearly the same route as McCain. Campaign falls apart, holds it together to win.
 
Cain never was a serious candidate. He might be serious, but not many are serious about him. No matter where you look it will be a weak field. The only hope is that Obama doesn't do anything right in the next year...considering he hasn't done anything right thus far, chances are good that Donald Duck could beat him.
