Perry’s entrance into the race has made him the frontrunner.
Public Policy Polling (PPP) would not reveal the exact results of the survey in advance of its release, but PPP’s Director Tom Jensen confirmed Perry’s double-digit advantage to NewsCore.
The poll of Republican primary voters by the Democratically-aligned polling company will be the second to show Perry with a lead nationally since the three-term Texas governor entered the contest.
A Rasmussen Reports national poll out Aug. 16 showed Perry leading Romney by 11 points, 29 percent to 18 percent.
Prior to that, Romney had led in national polls pretty consistently going back to early 2010.
