"FILE - In this Aug. 19, 2011, file photo Republican presidential candidate Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn. speaks outside the Myrtle Beach Convention Center in Myrtle Beach, S.C. An Associated Press-GfK poll released Friday, Aug. 26, 2011, found that two-thirds of Republicans and GOP-leaning independents are pleased with the party's presidential field, compared with just half in June. And they're paying more attention, with 52 percent expressing a ""great deal"" of interest in the GOP nomination fight, compared with 39 percent earlier this summer, after a period that saw Rick Perry enter the race and Bachmann win a test vote in the lead-off caucus state, threatening Mitt Romney's standing at the top of the pack.
