New Rasmussen National Poll - The Santorum Collapse

[RonPaulFanInGA]

http://www.rasmussenreports.com/pub...gop_romney_40_santorum_24_gingrich_16_paul_12

Romney: 40%
Santorum: 24%
Gingrich: 16%
Paul: 12%

Two weeks ago Santorum was 12 points ahead in first, now he's 16 points back of Romney. Santorum is quickly collapsing, and Romney may be getting closer to wrapping this up.

Isn't that what we said a few weeks ago? lol

 

[CTRattlesnake]

SO Santorum is falling like a rock


Is romney going to get that support now, or will another anti-romney pick it up

 

[skyorbit]

Hopefully Ron Paul will get it

 

[bluesc]

Romney isn't anywhere close to wrapping anything up.

With Newt's PAC having $10-$100M in the bank for a serious run in the south, more midwest states for Santorum to compete in and Paul's strength in the west, Romney only has his small, delegate rich NE stronghold.

This thing will be much more wide open after Super Tuesday.

BOOM.

Slow and steady people. Slow and steady.

 

[robmpreston]

BOOM.

Slow and steady people. Slow and steady.

To what? Now Gingrich will go back up and we'll hover in the 15% range at best.

I wish we could catch just one of these anti-Romney waves of support.

 

[D.A.S.]

Yes, Newt Gingrich will try to rise again, with the help of the media. And all along, this is great for us because it's buying us time. Remember what Ron always said -- the more establishment candidates in the race the better for us because they dilute the establishment vote. And we need this to prevent Romney from getting enough delegates for the nomination, while we try to get our first win and get some rise in the polls.

 

[No Free Beer]

i hope Gingrich and Paul start going up...

 

[jax]

Hopefully Ron Paul will get it

If he wins WA perhaps?

 

[time4change]

Romney may be getting closer to wrapping this up.

Hogwash.

To what? Now Gingrich will go back up and we'll hover in the 15% range at best.

Who cares?

If our 15% participate in the delegate and party process at a rate of double that of the other candidates supporters, we win.

We DO have the superior "grassroots", right??

Everyone does know their delegate rules, right?
Everyone is becoming GOP Chair, committee members, etc., right?

Do keep in mind that *all* of our delegates aren't going to make it after challenges and other shenanigans.

 

[Tinnuhana]

I hope any shenanigans are made VERy public and transparent.

 

[sailingaway]

I hope Gingrich doesn't and Ron does. Rasmussen only polls GOP for these, too, as I recall, so with independents and cross overs...

 

[kathy88]

I hope Gingrich doesn't and Ron does. Rasmussen only polls GOP for these, too.

It's only a matter of a week or two before grinch slides into fourth in Rasmussen. Whether we slide up to second remains to be seen.

 

[Danan]

A win in Washington would be awesome timing right now!

 

[Brett85]

Hogwash.

He was simply pointing out reality.

 

[RonPaulFanInGA]

He was simply pointing out reality.

Polling 40% just before Super Tuesday is sitting pretty.
