The scary thing about these polls is how poorly Romney does in Southern states. Imagine what that means if he's the nominee....

No Republican can win without the South.

This is all cherry picking.

survey usa is about as credible as fox news opinion dynamics.

Romney would have trouble winning the South even in the general. Hillary would win in a landslide.

I don't think that the polls are telling the whole story. There are a lot of good old boys in the south who wouldn't say so to a pollster but who won't vote for a Mormon. Confronted with a choice between Romney and Hillary/Obama, they just stay home or leave that line on the ballot blank. Enough that I think it would cost Romney at least three states in the old Confederacy: Florida, Missouri, Arkansas, North Carolina, or Virginia as each of these states turns more blue with each passing election.
