Now the QU poll says Romney is ahead.

Huh?

Now the QU poll says Romney is ahead.

Huh?

"From January 19 - 23, Quinnipiac University surveyed 601 Republican likely primary voters with a margin of error of +/- 4 percentage points. The survey includes 254 voters surveyed January 19 - 21, before South Carolina results were announced, with a margin of error of +/- 6.2 percent, and 347 voters surveyed January 22 - 23, after the South Carolina results, with a margin of error of +/- 5.3 percent. Live interviewers call land lines and cell phones."

Romney led by 11 in the part of the poll that was done before the SC primary, Gingrich led by 6 in the part that was done after that. Therefore Romney slightly led the poll alltogether. But I only entered the part of the poll that was done after the SC primary, because what happened before is now irrelevant.

Okay, I was trying to figure out how Gingrich 40, Romney 34% meant Romney was leading.
