Presidential hopeful Rick Perry leads President Barack Obama in a new 2012 poll.

According to Rasmussen Reports, the President trails the Texas Governor 41 percent to 44 percent.

The new poll represents Perry’s continuing surge in popularity. Just last week a similar survey from Rasmussen charted the President with a 3 point lead.

Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, Perry’s fellow frontrunner amid the GOP field, falls behind the President 39 percent to 43 percent. Likewise, all other Republican contenders falter in a matchup with the President.

The poll was based on interviews with 1,000 likely voters between August 23-20th. The full report can be seen here.
