Rasmussen Iowa poll [UPDATE: Released, Confirmed]
- Thread starter Agorism
- Start date
That may change after Iowa. The headline might just be that Santorum would be the one to steal the headlines from Paul and Romney for getting 3rd or 2nd place. But if the donations don't start flooding in, then he will drop after a dismal showing in South Carolina and Florida I think.
Well, as long as Santorum isn't beating Paul in Iowa, we're good. We want Santorum and Bachmann not Perry and Gingrich to get that vote.
Gingrich will get some votes from old people who aren't paying particularly close attention. He's famous. Perry supposedly has a lot of money, but sucking at running for President has got keep the money from coming in. Santorum is just not famous enough or rich enough. Bachmann isn't either. They're both very weak everywhere but Iowa. Something will happen in NH. It won't be bad for Ron Paul. Then South Carolina. If Gingrich and Perry are creamed in Iowa and NH, I would expect that they would lose some of their support. Gingrich is "still" at 31 in South Carolina. That's an old poll yes, but I would prefer that that particular candidate be hit as much as possible so that he can be replaced by Santorum or Bachmann. Those 4 are pretty much interchangeable - Bachmann, Santorum, Gingrich, Perry.

Santorum will get destroyed in New Hampshire, even if he gets 3rd in Iowa. Plus he is simply an annoying personality. He is a desperation move, and nothing more.
Overall, great poll! Rasmussen is always down on Paul, so he is likely still in the lead, if narrowly.

i dont know why you guys are nervous about santorum. he wont get above 11 percent
The msm doesn't want Santorum. They would've given him the flavor treatment if they wanted him to win. I suspect that a certain segment of people did not like "man on dog" one bit. Santorum is quite unacceptable to the msm. Not as unacceptable as Ron Paul. But not acceptable. They seem comfortable with Romney, Perry, Gingrich, Huntsman, and less comfortable with Paul, Santorum, Bachmann.

What about the polls we take every day talking with other people? Does anybody know any real, live Mitt Romney supporters? I don't. Do your friends know any Mitt
Romney supporters? Mine don't. It seems like a huge farce to me. The RNC wants him to win but real, live voters don't like him. At least that's what I see in Texas.

I think I know a few people who think he's a nice man. Or something.

That's only because of the CNN poll, which only polled registered republicans -- and therefore really shouldn't have been included.

Yeah, I watched Gingrich speaking in Iowa yesterday. All he said was that the ads about him were lies. He didn't go on to explain HOW they were lies. Of course we know why. I agree that he will likely get some older folks who remember him from Reagan days and just associate him with Reagan. It's embarrassing for me to admit, but even I didn't realize how horrible he was until he started running for President. How I missed a deplorable record like that, I'll never know. But, I did.
If he stays in the race for awhile, all it means is that we are going to have to get the word out on the ground. When traditional conservatives know about him, they will run. We just have to get the information to them.

He has the evangelical and indy vote guys, he is clearly in front at this point, so i really wouldnt be fretting anything at this point. MSM and GOP lamers are just trying to make a final push with their bs to try and edge him out, but its not going to work.
Roemer really has a nice resume. The kind of resume that says "Michele Bachman is in the debates, and Buddy Roemer isn't?" Roemer forgot to spend 10 years babysitting I guess. It's kinda bs that he wasn't in any of the polls. Maybe he's there as a reserve. Are we going to be seeing a Paul, Romney and Fred Karger debate right before California?
Santorum started coming up in comment sections only a few days ago, several days after the initial propaganda articles began -- my favorite article containing a line along the lines of "Some whisper that Santorum may surprise in Iowa" (who are 'some', why are they whispering, and who are they whispering to?).
Fabricated support is meaningless.
Santorum not only can't win a national election, on the off chance he did he'd divide the nation more than any President ever has. There is a reason you can 'google Santorum', and that is because he is long despised by a sizeable portion of the country.

Quite nice, Paul moving up, Romney slipping back.
Romney supporters are mostly the yuppies, wealthy businessman, investors, or otherwise established elites...they aren't going to project their support with signs or be out on the streets, they are discreet, they aren't activists.They will vote and go back to their very comfortable lives and if you aren't a yuppie, extremely wealthy, or run in those types of circles at the country club or private restaurants on the jet set, you won't see them...but they exist. They are out there.
