Polls: Christian Rick Perry Is Top Contender For U.S. Presidency

Rick Perry

Texas Governor, Rick Perry, who is a Christian, has become the top contender for the job of President of the United States in the 2012 election. Perry's had a very big summer, more than any other candidate, with voters vaulting him to the top of many presidential polls, in the lead up to the election. He has even surpassed incumbent, President Barack Obama, in all the major polls.



Perry has openly professed his faith in God. He called upon people to join him in prayer and fasting on August 8, 2011, in support of America, which is facing tough times, due Washington failing to spot the signs of an incoming financial crisis and allowing rich criminals to gouge the poor and middle class. The government could certainly use Jesus because Washington has lost its ever loving mind (in this article Washington = some in government, not the everyday people).

He has also pledged his support to Israel in stating of it, "I'm a big believer that this country was given to the people of Israel a long time ago, by God, and that's ordained." On August 13, 2011, Perry announced he is running for the post of President of the United States and has been dominating polls ever since. If the polls continue in the manner they have been and the public keeps coming out to supporting him at events, it could very well be President Perry.
