PPP tweet RP SURGING!!

[thoughtomator]

the previous PPP poll, 1 week ago, had Paul at 9%. If RP really doubled his support and then some in a period of 7 days, that's an a stunning political phenomenon. Anyone who didn't take him seriously before is going to have to take him seriously now.

 

[Echoes]

Ron's gonna be at 18-20%. Perhaps slightly more, but not less.

 

[TimeForChange]

When will these numbers be released?

 

[jkob]

So if Ron is a big gainer and Santorum is the big loser, it basically confirms the other polls. The SURGE is real!

 

[Uriah]

When will these numbers be released?

They said today, sometime early afternoon.

 

[jersdream]

Ron's gonna be at 18-20%. Perhaps slightly more, but not less.

He could be at 15-16%...A 6, 7 point increase is still significant. He may be 18 to 20%...but they would have made an even bigger deal if he was above that.

These other people will not be dropping out of the race. They'll be staying in to keep the focus off of Paul. This includes at least 3 of them who are being funded by billionaires contributing to super-pacs. Huntsman is basically being funded by his own father.

Big stories from these updates:

Only 4% in South Carolina say social issues are top concern this year. Big reason why Romney's doing well and Santorum's not

I'm glad Ron's not so-conning it up - made the right choice if it isn't even a concern in a southern state

Romney at 16% with those unwilling to support candidate who supported state level health care mandate. Major fail by his foes

Grassroots should get on this

58% in South Carolina have a favorable opinion of Romney's record in business, 27% unfavorable. That attack not hurting much yet

Dumb attack from the start, it won't stick

What we should be mentioning is Ron's opposition to NAFTA. That apparently scores points in SC.

In summation:

No NAFTA, no mandates from government = seems to be a winning argument.

Yeah Huntsman isn't going anywhere for the time being, he's got daddy bankrolling him. Santorum and Gingrich will definitely stay in till Florida, one might drop out after, but one will stay in at least until Super Tuesday. If Perry places below 3rd in SC he's gone.

There is this triumphant music that goes through my head when I see news like this, but for the life of me I can't remember the name to find a youtube to post.

Oh well!

[ross11988]

Im going with 16%

 

[eduardo89]

Im going with 16%

My guess is 15-18%, Santorum down to 14%

 

[seapilot]

This.

IF he can respond to the attacks on his foreign policy using terms like those he used during his New Hampshire speech, he can do really well in South Carolina. And, as someone who lives about five miles from their Northern border, I can't believe I'm saying that. SC is absolutely mainstream GOP territory.

Might be people in SC are finally researching the candidates. They look at it like a football game. Mitt Romney is undefeated. They want someone that has some stats to challenge him nationally.

Rick Santorum? No. He came in a close second in Iowa but placed 4th in NH.
Newt Gingrich? No. He has come in 4th and 5th in two contests.
Rick Perry? He cant even get into the building to play.
Huntsman? He was a no show in Iowa.
That leaves Ron Paul with a solid 3rd place in Iowa and a solid 2nd place win in NH. He is the only one to place in top 3 spot so far in two contests and has the resources to challenge Romney going forward. He is obviously the one with the best shot for beating Romney for those that look into the candidates.

It's strange that Ron is going up in South Carolina but staying about the same or going down in the Gallup daily tracking poll. You would think there would be some correlation between the national polls and the state polls.
