This new AP poll has President Obama ahead of all four of the Republicans who remain in the race in prospective general election match-ups: Obama 51% Mitt Romney 43% (+8) Obama 52% Rick Santorum 43% (+9) Obama 53% Ron Paul 44% (+9) Obama 52% Newt Gingrich 42% (+10) In additional positive polling news for the [...]

Update: For some reason I misread this poll as a 32% to 23% lead for Santorum and I thought this 9% point lead was jaw-dropping enough but it’s actually a 38% to 23% lead. ~~~ PPP’s new national poll tells a familiar story: Republican voters around the country are rejecting Mitt Romney once again. No [...]

2/10 Update: Santorum continues his surge with another two point gain up to 22% (while Romney dropped two more points down to 34%.) I think there’s a good chance that Santorum will be in first place in the Gallup tracker by Monday (when all days included will be post Santorum Shocker.) ~~~ In today’s Gallup [...]

This must be the “collapse” the editor-in-chief of Gallup was talking about. In the Gallup national GOP tracking poll Mitt Romney’s lead over Newt Gingrich went from 16 points to 10 points from yesterday to today. This is an even bigger swing towards Gingrich than it looks like because this is a 5 day tracking [...]

Rasmussen did a national GOP poll yesterday and it indicates a considerable bounce in support for Rick Santorum after his strong showing in Iowa on Tuesday. Mitt Romney 29% Rick Santorum 21% Newt Gingrich 16% It’s difficult to see a trendline of Santorum’s increase in support with this poll because Rasmussen hadn’t polled the Republican [...]

Ron Paul 24% Mitt Romney 20% Newt Gingrich 13% Michele Bachmann 11% Rick Santorum 10% Rick Perry 10% Jon Huntsman [...]

Newt Gingrich has had a solid 7 to 9 point lead (over Mitt Romney & Ron Paul) in Iowa in recent polling for the state’s January 3, 2012 GOP caucuses. And now this new NY Times/CBS News poll has Gingrich growing an even bigger lead over his GOP rivals: Newt Gingrich 31% Mitt Romney 17% [...]

PPP’s latest numbers for the Republican primaries in Florida & Montana are shockingly good news for Newt Gingrich. It’s not that surprising that Gingrich has a lead over Mitt Romney in these states considering his surging national poll numbers but I am very surprised by the size of Gingrich’s leads. In Montana Gingrich has 37% [...]

The GOP nomination battle has turned into a somewhat surprising Newt Gingrich (?!?!) vs. Mitt Romney showdown and the latest polling indicates Gingrich has the upper hand with not much more than a month before the first votes are cast in Iowa. This national poll of Republican primary voters has Gingrich ahead of Romney by [...]

The first actual voting for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination is in Iowa on January 3rd and this new poll shows a four way dead heat for the lead between Herman Cain, Ron Paul, Mitt Romney, & Newt Gingrich. Most political pundits argue that winning Iowa is essential for the candidacies of Cain, Gingrich, & [...]
