Daily Gallup GOP Tracking Poll Thread

[King]

I'd be interested to see a "national poll" of only states remaining.  It could be people in states which have already voted are tired of the charade and just want Romney to have it.

[Keystone Phil]

Romney - 35% (-1)
Santorum - 29% (+1)
Gingrich - 13% (+1)
Paul - 10% (-1)

[You kip if you want to...]

Romney - 35% (-1)
Santorum - 29% (+1)
Gingrich - 13% (+1)
Paul - 10% (-1)

Yay, i guess

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

I know other people have asked this, many times, but I just have to join in: WHO THE HELL are these 13%?!

Gingrich's wives, mistresses, and their families.

[Oakvale]

WE ARE THE 13%.

[Likely Voter]

i suspect they are low information voters who havent kept up with what a complete failure Newt has been.

He's still a big hit among regular talk radio listeners, who hate Romney more than anything and also don't like Santorum. Maybe some partisan hacks who fondly remember him from 1994, and some idiots that actually believe the $2.50 gas shtick. It also helps Gingrich that he's still covered by the media like he's essentially even with Santorum.

How do you survive that garbage long term? I barely survived super Tuesday and the weekend before listening to that.


I much prefer listening to Peter Frampton, like I am right now.

[Keystone Phil]

Yeah, Newt's base has always been that group of old white guys that loved the battles with the Clintons throughout the 90s, listen to Rush and Co. religiously and remember 1994 like it was yesterday. Those types and the old party elites that will be loyal to Newt until he's officially gone make up the 13%.

[ajb]

Today's numbers:

Romney (34%) (-1)
Santorum (30%) (+1)
Gingrich (13%) (-)
Paul (10%) (-)


So much for Romney sealing the deal.

[fezzyfestoon]

It'll be interesting to see what happens now that things are slowing down for a while. It looks as though Romney's peaks are getting more prolonged and he's bottoming out higher. Since Gingrich doesn't seem to want to get out anytime soon, Santorum's gonna have a hard time staying over Romney by enough to make a run for it. Romney's peaks come when there's indecision among the conservatives, which there will probably be a significant amount of as long as Gingrich takes up around 15%. If he stays there, Romney stays around 35% like he has been, and Paul stays around 10% (though it's not like his voters would go to anyone else anyway), that doesn't leave much room for Santorum to make much of a dent in Romney's lead. Without the momentum of more contests over the course of April, he's screwed. I can't imagine how Romney could lose at this point. Best case for Santorum is that if Romney doesn't get 50% Gingrich holds all the cards in a way, which is a scary thought. I'd almost rather Romney get the 50% of delegates than have that moron take charge of anything on any level.

[fezzyfestoon]

Also today's numbers already put a giant damper on Santorum...

Romney - 37% (+3)
Santorum - 27% (-3)
Gingrich - 13% (nc)
Paul - 10% (nc)

Gallup's saying Gingrich's support splits 40% to Romney and 39% to Santorum.

[Meeker]

^^^ for that to happen in one day must mean Santorum dropped by about 10 points in last night's tracker.

[fezzyfestoon]

Romney - 38% (+1)
Santorum - 27% (nc)
Gingrich - 14% (+1)
Paul - 9% (-1)

That makes for Romney up 6% from about a week ago, Santorum stagnant, and Paul and Gingrich deflated by 2-3%. 38% is also Romney's peak.

[Eraserhead]

Santorum is going to win LA, so Romney may drop yet again. And Ferris Wheel keeps on turnin'.

[King]

Romney's probably won, but he's shown himself to be an awfully un-Presidential candidate in the process.  Its quite clear he has no intention of uniting the party and is just betting the other 62 percent to fall in line. Maybe they will, but I'm guessing we see more Dems casting their ballots than Republicans in 2012.

In my boredom, I also converted the numbers into a graph with our color scheme to see what's happening a little better.

Very useful; thanks!

Great job fezzy.

In retrospect, I find it quite amusing that Perry was having a pretty sustained surge in the days leading up to his withdrawal from the race.

Yeah, I thought that was amusing, too.
