I’m not a great RS fan, but I’ll support him enthusiastically in the general.

Same here. Besides, this sort of poll is about useless until we hit late September/early october - too much can happen in the mean time.

With all due respect I disagree. Here is why:

a)Cuts deeply into the argument that Romney is more electable than Santorum. When there is a 8 point gap between candidates in swing states that is huge.

b)And destroys the argument that Santorum cannot do well with independent voters or female independents. A 22 point advantage over Obama is simply out of this world especially when Romney only boasts a 4 point lead in the same demographic.

c)Will encourage conservatives to rally around Santo and to leave Gingrich. This poll result will need time to filter down to the masses but by Tuesday I expect the folks in Illinois will know of its existence.

d)And I expect Santorum to cite this poll result now in his speeches to give himself further credibility with his audience.

Remember, poll after poll shows that Romney’s chief advantage over Santorum among conservatives is his electability. Take that away from the Mittster and what does he have left?
