PA PrimR: Public Policy Polling: Romney Leads Santorum, just within the MoE

[J. J.]

This could be an outlier.  While the polls are showing a tightening, this just seems like too massive a shift.

I'd like to see some other polls.

OTOH, if this is accurate, Santorum is in full collapse.  He's sinking faster than the Edmund Fitzgerald , if this is accurate.

But it seems to me that a great many on this forum seem to put a lot of stock in PPP polling. 

I do too, but there is the corollary to J. J.'s First Rule to Elections:

Never trust just one poll.  Trust several and remember that the electorate changes its mind quickly.

Nah.

First stage:  Denial 

I know. We've been telling you for months that you have real issues and your refusal to act puts you firmly is this stage.

I wouldn't call it denial.  But polls are not good for Santorum.  He has weakened, and may be collapsing.
