even worse at 4%. putting together his three best of those results, still the most generous average he gets doesn't cut it. less than 7%. 7% is the cut off. cnn has a take on it that's very generous to rick perry. cnn says, yeah, you only got 6% in the poll. but if you look at a different part of the poll, not reported at a result. not the one everyone reported as the important thing, but if you look at a different section of the raw polling data, there was a different way of asking the presidential preference question that did result in rick perry getting 7% instead of six.
