PPP Poll Preview - Newt falling fast, possibly 3rd in Iowa.

This leaves the question of who that puts in first and second. My guess would be Romney and Paul, but were it obviously either they'd probably have said so already. So its probably a pretty close race between those two with Gingrich in third.

EDIT: They mentioned Paul, Romney, and Newt in that order. PPP has a tendency to put candidates in order of finish in their tweets, which would imply Paul in first. But then, they also like to announce incredible events, and Paul in first would be fairly incredible. Of  course, maybe they aren't finished or want to "surprise" us...

I'm now officially betting on this showing either Paul in first or within 2% of first.

Paul may be able to sneak out a win in Iowa, but I think if this race comes down to Paul and Romney,  Romney should easily be able to win once people start taking a hard look on Paul's foreign policy views.

From what I've seen this race, foreign policy is either a minor issue for the average Republican (as opposed to the talking heads who seem to think the Republicans are still the War Party of '04) or they are changing their minds, since no amount of attacks have changed that. As a non-American, however, I can't tell whether this is indicative of a change in views that hasn't been noticed by the mainstream media yet, or whether those new Paul supporters really didn't know his views at all despite them coming up whenever his name is mentioned.

So are these polls coming out tomorrow or Monday?

I can't recall an instance in which PPP released a poll on a weekend. Therefore, its coming out either tomorrow or maybe even Tuesday.

Regardless, I'm willing to set up an ePride betting for those who want to guess the order of the top three finishers in this poll.

Presently, I think it will go Paul, Romney, Gingrich with Paul and Romney being separated by very little. Anyone who thinks otherwise can post their own prediction.
