Uh oh, where did that 6 - 8 pt. lead go. Please no Romney, PLEASE
Outlier or ARG has caught a trend early. Too soon to tell which it is.
This poll seems like an aberration.
Most of The Polls I saw showed Romney leading Gingrich in South Carolina as late as last Saturday morning...

If by aberration you mean BS, then I agree.
I think the difference is between voters and likely voters, where Newt holds the lead.
Good. Newt is surging. Just like S.C.
Ras had newt up by nine yesterday, and other polls had newt in the lead, and there is no reason why mitt would be surging, this polls seems very fishy.
Outlier or ARG has caught a trend early. Too soon to tell which it is.Same thought here. This poll totally contradicts the Rasmussen, PPP, IA, and Quinnipiac polls. The FL Chamber of Commerce (who?) has it tied up. So either this poll is an outlier or as you said it's an early predictor of coming bad news.

Am I the only one that thinks Santorum is running for Romney’s VP slot ???
What is up with Drudge? Did it get hijacked by the Romney team.
Man. Talk about one sided.
Its one of those slow on the uptick polls that while showing trending Newts way, will likely show a big swing if they do another.
From the looks of the article, they dont poll very frequently. The only other one was in early Jan. So likely they did this starting before SC.
Newt fans better pray that Newt has a good debate tomorrow night....
I don't see where ARG shows us the actual weighted, breakdown numbers in this poll.
This is poopy.
Romney has been bombarding Florida with negative media for weeks. He is being blasted from all quarters, HARD.
Newt is just now hitting the air.
Never underestimate the power of the media.
ARG is the least accurate of pollsters...
That said, Romney has been carpet-bombing Florida with Negative media, and Newt just went up on the air.
