Santorum is doing that well????

 

[Havax]

Pray the gay away

 

[bluesc]

Lol @ Santorum. I highly doubt it.

 

[sailingaway]

Yikes, I think this is the first time Santorum has EVER been closer than Ron to Obama. Within the margin of error, of course, but still. RCP, fortunately, still has Ron polling better against Obama.

Does North Dakota need anything? You guys are going to be important.

 

[tfurrh]

Is Santorum getting the womens vote becouse he's younger?

 

[jbuttell]

appears the message, "anybody but Obama" is the main point here.

 

[PauliticsPolitics]

Yea, this poll is on the high end for Santorum.
For the record, the Real Clear Politics Average for the head-to-head with Obama is this:
(as of today, Feb 2)
Obama vs Romney === 47.4 --- 45.5 (Obama +1.9)
Obama vs Paul ===== 47.4 --- 43.0 (Obama +4.4)
Obama vs Santorum = 50.3 --- 41.0 (Obama +9.3)
Obama vs Gingrich = 51.6 --- 39.8 (Obama +11.8)

Odd jump, eh?

 

[JohnGalt23g]

Rasmussen has a tendency to overpoll Republican and GOP leaners. Bump the independent numbers a little, and Ron does a lot better than Frothy I bet.

I'm not sure, this is the first time I've been old enough to caucus. The head campaign guy here sent out emails today reminding everyone to get to their district conventions to become delegates.

The honest truth is that nobody knows anything about Santorum. Once people see what a deuche bag theocrat, war monger he is, he will get slaughtered like he did in the biggest defeat by an incumbant Senator in history (yes, Santorum, the incumbant Senator was literally destroyed and annihilated by his democrat rival. RECORD breaking landslide and it was primarily due to corruption... He was VERY easily corruptable to lobbyists).... Another poll was done and it showed that Rick Santorum is the candidate that people know the least about. Because he only did well in Iowa, he wasnt ever truly vetted like the other candidates have been.

Any Nevada polls?

Nobody wants a president that can't even be Googled....

Not saying its totally inaccurate but it is Rasmussen...

 

[klamath]

This one I wouldn't be surprised if rassmussen fudged the numbers a bit to boost santorum.

 

[Edward]

I don't see any detailed breakdowns, but there appears to be a large number of voters that fall into "other".

 

[camp_steveo]

Rasmussen is BS

 

[Edward]

This one I wouldn't be surprised if rassmussen fudged the numbers a bit to boost santorum.

I seem to recall that a close relative (brother?) of Scott Rasmussen was affiliated with Ron Paul's campaign in 2007-2008 and vouched for his fairness. Perhaps some of the old timers might be able to elaborate on this.

 

[wgadget]

I TOLD you they would be resurrecting Santorum again after FL. Someone needs to tell them that he's not even on all the ballots.

GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZ.
