Gallup runs a 5 day avg and today’s # still includes Romney’s 16 pt lead on Monday. If it’s down to 8 by now it means that it’s tied or Newt was slightly ahead yesterday.
Newt will be ahead by Monday’s Gallup release, especially after tonight.
Or at least after Monday’s debate when Newt opens up a lead in Florida, too.
Newt’s got this! SC + FL = Newt’s very very very likely our nom.
Btw, 174,000 absentee ballots have been returned in Florida.
Plus 10,000 ballots at 5 county early voting sites.
Last election early voting was 14 days and it would have taken place this past week. It was changed to eight days for all counties except those five.
So you have 184,000 ballots returned out of 2 million. So about 9 percent have been returned.
If Florida had been like the last primary with 14 days you would have had more than 20 percent returned by now.
