MS-PrimR: ARG: Gingrich 35 Romney 31 Santorum 20 Paul 7

[ajb]

ARG, but FWIW.

This was strange:

"Gingrich leads Romney 37% to 30% among likely Republican primary voters saying they will definitely vote in the March 6 primary, followed by Santorum with 17% and Paul with 5%. Romney leads Santorum 40% to 20% among those saying they will probably vote, followed by Paul with 18% and Gingrich with 13%."

What.

[argentarius]

What.

The deep south is not Santorum country I don't think. He never made a breakthrough in SC, obviously didn't do too well in Georgia either. I think the jmfcsts have to factor into it myself. Santorum is the middle America candidate.

Allow me to be skeptical about this polling company's numbers.

[Eraserhead]

I can believe it. It's ARG though so we better wait for confirmation from a more serious pollster.

Ras has Mittens up 35-27, but I won't believe that till I see PPP's results.

[ajb]

There's nothing inherently implausible about MS voting for the same candidate that SC and GA voted for, even if that candidate happens to be Newt Gingrich.

In Mississippi? *Head Explodes*

Who's in second, Gingrich or Santorum?

Scott is trolling as usual, like he did when he showed Santorum 18 point ahead in Ohio.
I guess he has an upcoming appearance at Hannity's or O'Reilly's show.

Neither- both are tied at 27 apiece.

Both are at 27%.

If Mittens comes up the middle to win in MS, on a Newt/Rick split there is going to be HUGE pressure for the Newt to drop out.

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

Conflicting numbers scare me: drop out Newt!

[Eraserhead]

If Romney wins Mississippi, none of this will matter anymore.

[Wisconsin+17]

Newt third in MS? He's done, Jim.

Where are you seeing Newt in third?

There is an outside chance Romney will get a plurality of delegates on Tuesday, with HI and AS out, but I still think it is unlikely.  Perhaps a solid second place.
