Oh, what the heck. "Congratulations Phil!" Title: Re: PPP: Santorum takes the lead nationally Post by: Niemeyerite on February 11, 2012, 09:51:37 AM LoL Romney. He may lose AZ and Michigan with these numbers HAHAHA
Title: Re: PPP: Santorum takes the lead nationally Post by: Volrath50 on February 11, 2012, 09:54:27 AM Romney should be happy there isn't another vote until the 28th. He still has time to destroy Rick Santorum's reputation.

Only in America, as we say across the pond. And again, LOL Mitt Romney. Title: Re: PPP: Santorum takes the lead nationally Post by: You kip if you want to... on February 11, 2012, 11:25:35 AM Changes since last PPP (12/16 - 12/18)
Rick Santorum +34 Mitt Romney +1 Newt Gingrich -22 Ron Paul +2 Title: Re: PPP: Santorum takes the lead nationally Post by: Mehmentum on February 11, 2012, 11:43:47 AM Changes since last PPP (12/16 - 12/18) Rick Santorum +34 Mitt Romney +1 Newt Gingrich -22 Ron Paul +2 Obviously, this poll is excellent for Santorum, but remember that these huge leads have been fleeting for everyone else. Title: Re: PPP: Santorum takes the lead nationally Post by: Bull Moose Base on February 11, 2012, 12:20:50 PM Santorum doesn't seem as severely vulnerable as Perry, Cain, Newt. You can just sort of feel that the RomneyPAC barrage on Santorum will have to work much harder to damage him. Yes, Santorum has a bunch of liberal votes on economic issues but are Republican primary voters really conservative on economics? Polling suggests they're less so than they think. We'll see what happens when Romney floods airwaves with attacks. But is his vote for Bridge to Nowhere going to matter? Didnt hurt Palin. It's possible I assume but has anyone ever had a double digit lead in national polls after 8 states and not been nominated?
Title: Re: PPP: Santorum takes the lead nationally Post by: The world will shine with light in our nightmare on February 11, 2012, 12:25:24 PM Mitt's frontrunner status is shrinking by the day.
Title: Re: PPP: Santorum takes the lead nationally Post by: NHI on February 11, 2012, 12:42:49 PM Why are conservatives turning to Santorum? He is such an advocate of big government it's not even funny. If he is the nominee, then we will be seeing a coronation, rather than a reelection for Obama.

Title: Re: PPP: Santorum takes the lead nationally Post by: greenforest32 on February 11, 2012, 05:56:26 PM Quote The best thing Romney might have going for him right now is Gingrich's continued presence in the race. If Gingrich dropped out 58% of his supporters say they would move to Santorum, while 22% would go to Romney and 17% to Paul. Santorum gets to 50% in the Newt free field to 28% for Romney and 15% for Paul. Leave this race Gingrich. It's for the good of the country. Title: Re: PPP: Santorum takes the lead nationally Post by: Eraserhead on February 11, 2012, 07:20:22 PM So will Santorum's surge start fading already now that Romney won Maine and CPAC today?
Title: Re: PPP: Santorum takes the lead nationally Post by: Keystone Phil on February 11, 2012, 07:35:53 PM So will Santorum's surge start fading already now that Romney won Maine and CPAC today? Remember when Romney romped to victory in Nevada and carried that over to Missouri, Minnesota and Colorado? Title: Re: PPP: Santorum takes the lead nationally Post by: ○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└ on February 11, 2012, 07:51:25 PM Other good news for Santorum in this poll:
While Romney has only a 44-43 favorable rating, and Gingrich and Paul do even worse, Santorum has a 64-22 favorable rating. In a 2 way race against Romney, Santorum leads 56-32.

Remember when Romney romped to victory in Nevada and carried that over to Missouri, Minnesota and Colorado? Sorry but tonight was pretty depressing. I am ironically supporting your guy at the moment though. Title: Re: PPP: Santorum takes the lead nationally Post by: RI on February 11, 2012, 10:14:05 PM If it had been Santorum narrowly losing to Romney, I think it would have hurt Santorum more than Paul losing narrowly to Romney.
Title: Re: PPP: Santorum takes the lead nationally Post by: King on February 12, 2012, 02:48:15 PM Whitney Houston's death totally overshadowed whatever news coverage CPAC and Maine were going to get. No effect, Eraserman.

Well both Romney and Santorum want to lower taxes while keeping our massive/inflated defense budget, so...........

No effect, Eraserman. Hmm, let's hope so. Title: Re: PPP: Santorum takes the lead nationally Post by: Lincoln Republican on February 12, 2012, 04:00:13 PM One thing everyone seems to fail to realize is that Santorum has not been under the intense scrutiny that comes with being a front runner.
Once his controversial positions become more widely known, he will begin to fade. When it comes right down to it, I doubt very much the electorate will really see Santorum as Presidentially capable. Title: Re: PPP: Santorum takes the lead nationally Post by: CLARENCE 2015! on February 12, 2012, 04:02:59 PM I agree- but if Romney follows thru what the meeting was about at CPAC he will not be going as negatvie on Santorum as on Newt
Title: Re: PPP: Santorum takes the lead nationally Post by: Averroës Nix on February 12, 2012, 05:03:56 PM I agree- but if Romney follows thru what the meeting was about at CPAC he will not be going as negatvie on Santorum as on Newt I wouldn't bet on it. Romney will focus on disassociating himself from the negativity, but if Santorum continues to do well, the attacks will not go away. Title: Re: PPP: Santorum takes the lead nationally Post by: Beet on February 12, 2012, 05:15:52 PM I agree- but if Romney follows thru what the meeting was about at CPAC he will not be going as negatvie on Santorum as on Newt I wouldn't bet on it. Romney will focus on disassociating himself from the negativity, but if Santorum continues to do well, the attacks will not go away. Romney's problem is that if he goes negative, it gets blown right back at him. Though it seems strange now, Newt could conceivably recover again if Romney and Santorum destroy each other. Plus, it leaves them badly wounded for the General. They're better of reaching a tacit agreement to limit the negativity. If they don't, its likely due to the Prisoner's dilemma.

Well both Romney and Santorum want to lower taxes while keeping our massive/inflated defense budget, so........... Right, because we are so unable to process two news stories in the same 24 hour period. Title: Re: PPP: Santorum takes the lead nationally Post by: Nation on February 12, 2012, 06:58:50 PM I agree- but if Romney follows thru what the meeting was about at CPAC he will not be going as negatvie on Santorum as on Newt I wouldn't bet on it. Romney will focus on disassociating himself from the negativity, but if Santorum continues to do well, the attacks will not go away. Romney's problem is that if he goes negative, it gets blown right back at him. , I disagree. The Republican primary electorate is not suddenly going to start disapproving of negative Super PAC ads. They work They will continue to work. It's possible that the conservative establishment starts rallying around Santorum -- like early Hillary superdelegates who switched to Obama later on. Santorum may win more states, but if he does, I don't think it's because voters think Mitt isn't playing nice. |
