New CNN SC Poll

[ZENemy]

I dont get it? I guess I can still see Romney being up there but the others are pure dogshit, I don't get how Paul can be THIS low?

Every video I see of Newt and Santorum they are getting badgered and booed.

 

[kahless]

Fox News was pumping a Gingrich surge this afternoon.

I wonder how Foxnews gets around campaign finance laws in pimping their former employees Gingrich and Santorum. Both were on FNC payroll for a number of years as consultants.

 

[Tyler_Durden]

It always does, if the state is Open. ...unless they do stupid crap like CNN did in their second to last poll before the Iowa caucus.

I updated the OP with the results:

OK this is another dirty trick

All voters in the sample were 50 and older.

We'll pass Santorum before the vote. Even Nate Silver says: "Yeah, I agree that the Santorumentum ship has probably sailed."

This also doesn't include the bump Ron will get from several state senate endorsements.

I am usually pessimistic, but this doesn't look good at all. I would have thought that between ads, and the endorsements we would have gained some ground. And considering we are essentially skipping FL, how does a poor showing in SC give us any momentum going into the 4 caucuses following FL?

Hmm you're right. WTH is up with that?

Media is not giving Paul any positive focus right now. The campaign really needs to put out a lot of ads to combat this. One good thing is after SC two of the candidates should be dropping out.

it doesn't. if we come in 4th in SC, then we can effectively transition into "movement" mode, away from "campaign" mode. especially if romney wins, and he will presumably win florida as well, this thing is over. if newt pulls sc and we do atleast respectably well (3rd or better), we could take the fight to florida, but frankly i don't see it going much further than that regardless. we needed 2nd place in SC to cement our status as the "anti-mitt campaign". doesn't look like it's happening.

sad but true.

I think a strong third place showing (near 20 percent) with Gingrich beating Romney would be a good result on Saturday. Even better would be winning congressional district to win three delegates.

No, they weren't. But there wasn't a significant enough amount to do cross tabs on those less than 50 for them to cross tabulate that group.

Paul does 9% with those 50 and older....but has 13% overall.....

 

[low preference guy]

i think it's about time we win a primary.

 

[Austin]

They included independents:

Romney: 32%
Gingrich: 19%
Paul: 19%
Santorum: 10%
Perry: 9%

Wrong.

No, they weren't. But there wasn't a significant enough amount to do cross tabs on those less than 50 for them to cross tabulate that group.

Paul does 9% with those 50 and older....but has 13% overall.....

If everyone was 50+ then Ron would get 9% in the poll.

If the <50 year olds were that insignificant, I don't understand how it can account for a third of his votes unless he received a huge majority from that group.

Politico and other news media are reporting that Ron Paul and his Campaign are really not trying to win in South Carolina and are looking beyond the Palmetto State. Basically, Ron Paul is just going thru the motions here.

They cite the 4 days that Ron took off after New Hampshire, and the fact that he has only had three scheduled events this week in the State thus far.

Sadly, I am afraid that time away hurt. Four days is far too long. While we were never going to win South Carolina anyway I am afraid third place may be slipping away as a result.

Let's hope the Campaign knows what they are doing this week!!! I guess we will find out Saturday evening!!!






Let' hope the Campaign knows what

 

[Diurdi]

CNN did the exact same thing in Iowa, polling only Republicans.

This created the Santorum "surge".

 

[dfalken]

likely GOP means everyone. If they said GOP registered then that would mean GOP registered.

It is an open primary. Just including repubs only is dishonest.
