Daily Gallup GOP Tracking Poll Thread

[Sam Spade]

What appears to have happened is something that I never have seen before in GOP races.  Romney has his 30%, but after the two wins (well now one win), I expected to see the 10%-15% of generic GOPers move towards him, and if he won SC, all of them would be in his camp and the race would be over (given Ron Paul's solid 15%).

At any rate, this was happening, but a day or two before the first SC debate, there was a warning in the daily polling that half of these generics were not warming to him.  Then after, the two SC debates, it appears like that those warming to him, went back into undecided, while at the same time, Gingrich started to coalesce the anti-Romneys.

Which goes back to what I was saying before - Mitt needs to solidly break the 30% barrier before another candidate does, or it will be a long slog.

Rick Santorum peaked about a week ago folks.  Sorry I wasn't around to tell you...
