I don't want to bury the lede but these are excellent numbers for Romney.

They're a week old... pretty much useless at this point.

In the case of SC, enough so to be outliers. If other polls bear these out though, that is definitely the case.

But yes, they are old.

This pole is old, and must be trashed.   This pole does not take into consideration Mitt's breathtaking performance at last night's debate where he was commanding with leadership abilities.   Once people get to feel the Mitt, they love the Mitt.  In 2 weeks, Republicans will be thirsting for more Mitt.

We should have listened to that magyar instead of this pole.
