Santorum's problem is that he has been forgotten even by many evangelicals, which is not a good sign for someone who won 11 states and 4 million votes just four years ago. Only Pataki and Gilmore beat him in the washed-up category. A lot of influential conservatives in Iowa and elsewhere who prioritize social issues often mention Jindal in their shortlist of candidates, though others like Cruz and Huckabee have received the most buzz from them. Jindal still gets mentioned frequently enough because of how hard he has been hitting the issue of religious liberty, which a lot of conservatives are drawn to. I have rarely if ever seen Santorum mentioned in that group of candidates. Part of it has been Santorum's own fault for changing his strategy and focusing on economic populism early on, which hasn't brought him great dividends. Because of this, Jindal has the greatest potential to surge later on in a state like Iowa if the right candidates accordingly drop in the polls. You never know what might happen in this race.
