Looks like Gingrich's brief "coalition" consisted of both establishment voters and conservative voters. Now that he's collapsed nationally, they are splitting off to both Santorum and Romney.

[Keystone Phil]

Rick!

[Likely Voter]

If Gingrich and Perry dropped out, I wonder what the numbers would be. I suspect that Santorum would get more but Romney would still get enough to keep the lead by a few points

[Lief]

Who are these people still supporting Perry?

[Landslide Lyndon]

Who are these people still supporting Perry?

People afflicted with Alzheimer, dyslexia and other assorted learning difficulties.

Also all the men he's slept with.

[All life is a blur of Republicans and meat.]

Damn, Huntsman can't catch a break.

Not much of a reason to care about this now. It's all about SC. If Romney wins there, they might as well give up on polling the race nationally.

The media's coronation of Romney seems to be finally paying dividends. Ugh. Not that it matters *cough* South Carolina *cough*.

I think it more Gingrich slumping than Romney surging.

Gingrich 13% (nc)
Paul 12% (-1)

Yeah, Romney's probably leading pretty much everywhere now. Maybe a couple Southern states, but that's it.

[RogueBeaver]

Romney will break 40% soon, and after SC probably breaks 50. D:

Impossible. Don't you remember? 75% of Republicans despise and distrust Mitt. No way will he ever get that high.

They don't like him, dude. It's ok to admit it. Hell, I have to admit that a lot of people within the PA GOP dislike one of their own (Santorum).

Romney's boost can be attributed to a feeling of inevitability now. We're being bombarded with stories about how the GOP is/has to unite behind the "clear frontrunner" now. Romney is naturally going to benefit.

One of the worst myths in this cycle is that the GOP absolutely despises Mitt. A few do, yes, but a majority of GOP voters are fine with him being the nominee. His favorable are better than most candidates left in the race. People who really dislike and despise him aren't going to flock to him after he won two states - they'll keep supporting an alternative until he's the only one left.

I think you're right. ^^^ (tmth)

Despise? No. But I think it's fair to say that a lot of Republicans dislike him. At this point, it's "Let's unite behind the guy early and focus on beating Obama. Plus, he's supposedly the most electable."

Fair enough. A lot of Republicans also dislike Santorum, Gingrich, Huntsman, Paul, and Perry. It's a race to the bottom!

Mitt Romney is going to win the nomination because a majority of Republicans (and I believe they're right here) believe Romney is our best chance to beat Obama, and because he's the most knowledgeable and experienced in terms of the economy. They may not love his social issues, but that's not their top concern right now.
