Hey, Gingrich wasn’t supposed to win South Carolina, either. What can I say.
Quinnipiac is a junk poll.
However, most reliable polls show Newt 5-7% behind Mitt in Florida. Two polls stated that some coalescing was starting to happen, however, and that there was a slight trend toward Newt in that respect.
Newt needs to maximize turnout and we need to convince undecideds and Santorum backers to vote strategically in Florida by backing Newt to defeat Mitt.
The weekend polls will be interesting, as will Monday’s. If the trend ticks Newt’s way and starts showing a 2-5% race, the Tea Party can make this an all-nighter with turnout and effort.

It’s called selective reporting.

Here’s the Quinninipiac Press release, note the reference to the Wednesday poll which this posted article uses.
Just four days before the nation’s first big-state presidential primary, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney opens up a 38 - 29 percent lead over former House Speaker Newt Gingrich among Republican likely voters in Florida, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today. Only 6 percent are undecided, but 32 percent say they might change their mind by Tuesday.
This compares to results of a January 25 survey by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN- uh-pe-ack) University, showing Romney with 36 percent of likely primary voters to Gingrich’s 34 percent. Wednesday’s survey showed Gingrich ahead 40 - 34 percent among voters surveyed after the South Carolina primary.
