Some Santorum Polls...

polifrog




Via PPP, in Missouri Santorum has 45% to Romney's 32% and Paul's 19%. With Newt not on the ballot in Missouri the anti Mitt vote is less divided and we get a glimpse of Romney's soft conservative weakness. Romney seems to gain little from Newt when Newt is absent from the race.

Newt is, however, in contention in Minnesota. But there too Santorum leads but only with 33%, followed by Romney with 24%, Gingrich at 21% and Paul at 20%.

In Colorado Romney leads with 37%, Santorum with 27%, Gingrich 21%, and Paul 13%.

Then, of course, there is excitement or momentum to consider:

And he'd be in more trouble if the single conservative alternative ended up being Santorum:

If Romney were a conservative in the national sense, not just the Massachusetts sense, this would not be a problem.

PPP:

-In Missouri Santorum leads Romney 50-37 and in Ohio Santorum leads 45-38.

-In Missouri Gingrich leads Romney 43-42 and in Ohio Gingrich leads 42-39.

Two takeaways from those numbers: if this ever came down to Romney, Paul, and just one out of Gingrich and Santorum, Romney would be in a lot of trouble. And he'd be in more trouble if the single conservative alternative ended up being Santorum.

Is the Tea Party coalescing around Santorum?

There is definitely a Santorum Surge at the cost of all the front runners.

Could Ron Paul Truly Be Pulling Even With Newt?

polifrog



First off, this is a PPP poll, so any results prior to the two or three week period before an election should be taken with a grain of salt.

The StateColumn:

Ron Paul (R-TX), a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, tied former House Speaker Newt Gingrich in the latest Public Policy Polling poll of Iowa GOP caucusgoers. Mr. Paul garnered 21 percent of the votes to pull even with Mr. Gingrich who earned 22 percent of the votes. Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney took third place with 16 percent of the votes.

However, if true, I could swallow some  foreign policy aberrations for the whole of the package. Paul has always been my first choice without hope of ever becoming one.  Lets hope he does.

Bev Perdue's Poor Polling...

polifrog


And that is according to liberal leaning PPP.

Fayobserver,

If the governor election were held today, neither Gov. Bev Perdue nor three other top-level Democrats could beat former Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory, Democratic pollster Public Policy Polling said today.

...

In potential matchups with the former Charlotte mayor, PPP’s numbers:

-- Perdue 36 percent, McCrory 50 percent

-- Blue 28 percent, McCrory 48 percent

-- Cooper 35 percent, McCrory 43 percent

-- Dalton 27 percent, McCrory 47 percent

This is unsurprising considering the fact that she helped to force ObamaCare on North Carolinians with her veto.

According to State Republican Party was Chaiman Robyn Hayes:

“Big government Democrats in the Tar Heel State have become so toxic that even the Democrat pollsters can’t slant numbers favorably for Governor Perdue and her liberal allies,” he said in a written statement. “This poll is proof that the people of North Carolina overwhelmingly object to the big government, big spending policies of Governor Perdue and her liberal allies and are ready to take their state back.”
