IA: GOP candidates in the lead

What a hilarious poll.

Seriously, what is this:

Paul up by 7
Santorum up by 4
Romney up by 2
Gingrich down by 14

It's the DMR, and they do a pretty great job. They nailed it a week in advance in 08 and they showed the Santorum surge with their last poll which was a week before the election and most the vote switching happened in the last 48 hours.

I'm aware that they have a good reputation, but if IA really is this competitive at this point, why would that not translate to Newt at all in this poll? All of this is bizarre, to say the least.

It'll definitely be interesting to see if other polls show anything like this. This one really is bucking the trend we've been seeing lately in other swing states (aside from Gingrichfail, of course).

Gotta love that likely voters screen eight and a half months out with, as needs to be restated, a putative Republican advantage twice as large as 2010.

This is what happens outside of fantasyland, hack.
