Q Poll: Mitt Romney 36%, Newt Gingrich 34% in FL -- but Gingrich up 6 among likely voters after SC primary

Surging since his South Carolina Republican presidential primary win, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich wipes out a 12-point lead by Mitt Romney to tie the former Massachusetts governor in Florida, according to a Quinnipiac University poll release today. The final tally is 36 percent for Romney to 34 percent for Gingrich among likely voters in the Florida Republican presidential primary, but Gingrich gets 40 percent to 34 percent for Romney among likely voters surveyed after the South Carolina primary. Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum receives 13 percent to 10 percent for Texas U.S. Rep. Ron Paul.

The media misrepresentation and reporting of this Poll today has been astounding...

I read that and I’m not surprised that the media is using Old poll numbers.

If only Santorum would drop out...he has a right to be in, absolutely, but really he has little chance of being more than a spoiler

What do you think the chances are that we could talk him into dropping out just for the Florida vote, then he can get back in....

I think that Santorum is delirious and truly believes that he can capture the nomination. Just a guess, but if he ever dropped out, I think he’d likely endorse Romney.

Polls are actually fairly accurate but do have outliers

and the big flaw is that they are trailing indicators...like stock sale indices

and they cannot reflect the most breaking impacts especially right before an election

if we get an aggregate like this one then we have an issue

Newt needs to shine in next debate and mix it up...

He is in the driver’s seat now but is running against the media and GOP brass and much of talk radio’s at a minimum ambivalence and in some cases..downright bigotry towards him.

A tall order but doable. Man...would it help if Santorum would bail.

I took the time to analyze the poll.

Lord this is pure propaganda at it’s worst.

Half the poll was done before South Carolina and yet they are touting it as current.

Can anyone truly fathom the depth of bias in our press and their total lack of any integrity.

No shame...have they?

and look at Drudge....little prick...one header after another negative about Newt.

Excellent point.

Unfortunately the American people have proven themselves to be easily and dangerously distractable, and Democrat Politicians and their henchpersons are well aware of this.

For example: The real issues of the Clinton Scandals were sexual assault, purjury, intimidation of witnesses, obstruction of justice, and rape. Democrat Politicians and their minions, especially those in the Democrat Party Propaganda Machine (the Elite Media), successfully convinced millions of Americans that the real issue was supercilious disapproval, by puritannical religious fanatics, of sex in private between consenting adults--a distraction that worked quite successfully.

If we are now going to start calling Dick Armey a RINO I think my head might explode, Armey is rock solid conservative. They don’t come any better than Dick Armey.

It has been much rumored, but not fully confirmed until now. Dick Armey, the House Majority Leader after the 1994 Conservative Revolution will go to New York to campaign for Doug Hoffman.

In an exclusive conversation with RedState, Armey explains his reasons.

“We win when we are us. We lose when we are Democrat lite,” he told me. In New York’s 23rd Congressional District, two Democrats and a Republican are running for Congress. One of the Democrats just happens to have an “R” next to her name and the Republican is running on the Conservative Party ticket thanks to the way the candidates were chosen.

“We attract people by being small government conservatives,” Armey told me. “Big Government Republicans, though they call themselves Big Government Conservatives, do not win. I would tell the Republican Party leadership it cannot win if it insists on recruiting and supporting candidates out of step with the voters.”

I don’t think I called him a RINO, I stated what I heard on F and F this morning.

Show me the history of Quinnipiac’s accuracy. You’ll note they tend to skew left every time.

It's well documented on FR over a decade.

The last debate pricked a hole in Gingrich’s bubble.

I think “ Freddie Mac” Gingrich has peaked and is going down.

Hannity just misquoted this poll. He flipped the numbers for likely voter poll. "40% for Romney and Gingrich 34%".

As we know, it is the other way around:

Gingrich 40% Romney 34%
