This concerns me since Fla is a winner take ALL. Mitt would gain 50 delegates IF he wins.

Of course, the GOP has penalized FLA and taken away half their delegates.

Sampling error +/-5%..... So
Romney 31%
Gingrich 39%

Why are they polling registered voters instead of likely voters?

369 Rep-registered likely voters
2/3rds of survey was completed prior to Monday evening’s debate, 1/3rd was completed after the debate

"Romney earns the backing of 36% of the states registered Republicans, a slight edge over the 34% who prefer Gingrich." Why are they polling registered voters instead of likely voters? A gold star for you - that is the key question. Newt's voters are a lot more excited than Romney's tepid supporters. Even those who don't love Newt hate Romney so much that they will be there. To be fair to CNN, they normally go with registered voters, so this wasn't a particularly pro-Romney decision (and to be honest they do that because registered voters are always more liberal than likely voters, so this was a pro-liberalism decision).

It’s 369 likely Republican primary voters.
Small sample size, particularly for a state like FL, so that puts the #s in question.
Still, Newt is having a bad day it seems, so the threat is very real here.

Don't take this too seriously, this is CNN reporting after all.
All the news that's fit to manipulate.

With FL winner-take-all, Newt needs to come out the winner, not Romney.
A FL win, however close the vote, puts Romney back in the driver seat to inevitability.
There are several pro-Romney states coming up in Feb including Mormon-heavy Nevada and his birth state of Michigan where his dad was governor.
This is why it is CRITICAL Santorum (and his voters) consider very carefully whether they's for stopping Romney or not.

(a FL win returns Romney to the "inevitability" path.)
When ? Since when has CNN or Time/Warner Magazine or anyone else on the LEFT, ever cared about the GOP ?

Why are they polling registered voters instead of likely voters?They included 369 Republican-registered and likely voters. Out of 1,500+ polled, they only included the 369 subset that was both registered and likely.

I just won’t be relieved until the Fla election is over and done with...it would be a great victory for Newt. We need Fla

The pollsters are entering full damage control mode.
They will "steer" they're results as reality takes hold and they realize they have been wrong, so Newt will start to "win".
They have to turn their lemons into lemonade or face the embarrassment of having been WRONG all along.
