Daily Gallup GOP Tracking Poll Thread

5 days in this race is longer than an eternity for a momentum shift to happen. Infact, there could be 2 momentum shifts.

Per day, that is, on a cautious estimate.

[minionofmidas]

Let's hope it's noticeable in the Florida results.

[minionofmidas]

Santorum is the Anti Romney.

He's the Anti Both These Clowns.

And if he weren't such a bad candidate he'd be running away with it by now.

[minionofmidas]

Not as bad as I predicted... maybe yesterday was a bad sample:

Romney 31%
Gingrich 25% (-1)
Santorum 17% (+1)
Paul 12% (+1)

Christ, if Santorum makes it into 2nd, I'll have to leave the forums for a week to avoid the inevitable disgusting display from our resident congratulatee.

But then what do you do when you come back and find you missed out on his one day stint at number one?

[minionofmidas]

Why am I seeing nothing of that "surge" in actual pollnumbers yet?

[minionofmidas]

A bad sample rolled off, a bad sample rolled on, and Mitt's momentum had halted in between (ie, he was back at his full potential.)

He'll probably still be basically ending this tonight.

[minionofmidas]

I give up. This is comparable to arguing over whether the Pope is Catholic.

He absolutely is not. How dare you insinuate such a shameful thing.

[minionofmidas]

My common sense keeps telling me Mitt is going to just keep pulling it out, but I just can't picture him giving an acceptance speech at the convention.

Requiring an ever wider stretch of the imagination, can anyone really see?:

"I, Willard Milton Romney, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.

Unfortunately, that's not saying much.

[minionofmidas]

Yup, they've spoken loud and clear:

Southerners are not real Americans.

[minionofmidas]

Romney - 39% (-2)
Santorum - 27% (+1)
Gingrich - 14% (+1)

They aren't bothering to post the troll from Texas' results on the main page.

But they do report the just-as-boring Georgia Troll and the much better PA Troll.

Anti-Texan Racism, is all it is.

I find it somewhat unlikely - though possible -  that Romney will get to 50 before this primary season is effectively over unless Gingrich and/or Paul drop out before that point (but that is in itself unlikely). Seems to be beyond his ceiling, frankly.

Ought to have listed Santorum as well.
