Newt Gingrich's momentum is continuing to build, and he now leads Mitt Romney by over 25 points in both Florida and Montana.

In Florida Gingrich is at 47% to 17% for Romney, 15% for Herman Cain, 5% for Ron Paul, 4% for Michele Bachmann, 3% for Jon Huntsman, 2% for Rick Perry, 1% for Rick Santorum, and 0% for Gary Johnson.

Newt Gingrich ................................................. 47%
Mitt Romney.................................................... 17%
Herman Cain................................................... 15%
Ron Paul ......................................................... 5%
Michele Bachmann ......................................... 4%
Jon Huntsman................................................. 3%
Rick Perry ....................................................... 2%
Rick Santorum................................................ 1%
Gary Johnson ................................................. 0%
Someone else/Not sure .................................. 7%

These two states really exemplify one of the key emerging trends in the Republican race- Gingrich isn't just rising, Romney's also falling. His 17% in Florida is down 13 points from 30% when we polled the state in late September. His 11% in Montana is down 11 points from 22% when we polled the state in June.

In addition to his support for the nomination, Romney's personal popularity is down too. His Florida favorability was +43 (65/22) and it's declined 28 points to +15 (51/36).  He's dropped in Montana too although it's a more modest change there from +11 (47/36) to only +5 (44/39).

The biggest reason for Newt Gingrich's rise is that he's picked up the voters of Herman Cain and Rick Perry as their campaigns have fallen apart.  But these numbers make it pretty clear he's doing more than that- some of Mitt Romney's '25%' is starting to fall off and move toward Newt as well.

I think Romney should be really really scared right now.

McCain was polling around 10% in Florida at this point in 2007, ftr.

He has been here a lot...he deserves it

Once Cain drops out/collapses to single digits, Newt will be over 50%

Once again, Mitt Romney's HQ: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7yp2CCULHA

Remember when we joked about newt becoming the next flavor of the month? The GOP is a self parody now. Unbelievable.

You really ought to become a Democrat (along with ~50% of this forum's Republican posters).

the GOP is only a reflection of the jmfcsts, which are simply an extension of the jmfcst

When you're promoting your own meme more than anyone else, you're overpromoting.

I'd say fake poll... but it's PPP. Wow.

it also closely echoes an InsiderAdvantage poll

[Simfan34]

I didn't even see that one... just shocking stuff. Still, I don't see Gingrich lasting. He's yet to match Perry's or Cain's leads, and people already say he's peaking.

The end seems to be near for Mr. Romney.

[California8429]

41 and 47 in two polls while Romney in the higher teens and Cain in the mid teens. Holy sh*t this is great!

Ugh, I haven't been as unhappy with my state's GOP since the Greer scandal....which actually wasn't very long ago now that I think about it. I hope "the Jmfcsts" come to their senses soon.

No. Then the party will become crazier.

look, Romney is a non-starter.  Full stop.  He's just too fake, plus he's bad at being fake.  Needs to take acting lessons or something.

Other than Newt and Huntsman, the rest of the field is irrelevant.

You "moderate" Republicans who still want Obama to lose (for some irrational reason that makes no sense) should thank the jmctsf's from saving your party from the disaster that a Mitt Romney general election would be.

Amen brother!!! Romney would embarrass the GOP

I'm not going to run around like a chicken with my head cut off just yet. There's still plenty of time for things to change.
