Dixie Strategies/The News-Press/First Coast's new poll has almost 2,600 likely voters. Gingrich is up by .38%. He leads Romney 35.46% to 35.08%. Santorum is in third with around 9%.
Almost 2,600 likely voters makes this a gigantic poll and super accurate as well.

NO SURRENDER!! NO MATTER WHAT!!
“The survey was conducted between Monday and Wednesday.”
Old poll. This was conducted before Newts disasterous debate performance Thursday. I’m sure he has dropped since then and Romney and Santorum have gone up.
You have mental illness Yes!
Santorum is wasting CONSERVATIVES time!
GO NEWT!
Put a link in the heading of every thread, comprende?
Need a woo hoo and grandfather of the tea party pic over here....yes you can ask for FR donations too.
Newt is my 2nd choice behind Santorum, because I have to believe there is no love for Newt either in the democrat base. They have hated Newt ever since the 1994 election.
Romney and Paul are on the ballot in all 50 states. Gingrich and Santorum are not.
It's mathematically impossible for Santorum to win outright, and extremely unlikely that Gingrich could do so, because he's not running a full slate of delegates in all states (even in ones where he's on the ballot,) delegates will be awarded proportionally in most states (so even losers get delegates, and the winner doesn't get all of them,) he has far less money that either Romney or Paul, his campaign organization is nowhere near as capable and competent as are those of Romney and Paul, he polls substantially worse against Obama than do either Romney or Paul, and his negatives are much higher nationally.
The same game that was played in Fla 4 years ago is being played again, and again it is the Bush Crime Family of Houston heavily involved in Fla.
Look at how they are compromising people who were Tea Party faves just a few weeks ago—Rubio, Bondi, and they are still burning up Scott’s phone lines. The same game they played when they yanked sleazeball Charlie Crist from his support for Giuliani to give the nomination to McCain is being played again.
If Romney gets one more vote than Newt they’ll be saying. “That’s it, it’s all over, Mitt has it, what’s the sense of going on with all this, Mitt wins.”
This all really borders on illegally attempting to influence elections—after all, Fla is only the 4th state to vote and if the Crime Family has its way 46 states will lose their franchises, most voters left out in the cold, if the sleazoid RINO insiders have their way.
And then we’ll end up with a cardboard cutout who has NO SHOT of actually getting elected in November because, let’s face it, Romney generates ZERO enthusiasm among real voters.
It’s all gotten thoroughly sickening.
He is a FAKE, a PHONEY, and a FRAUDSTER!!
It’s like a multi millionaire Cardinal from the Catholic Church was running for POTUS with all of the power and money of the Catholic church behind him, and he and the media never figured that it was an issue that she even be brought up or discussed
The ROMNEY candidacy is PREPOSTEROUS, and the RNC will pay dearly for what they are trying to do.
I came here dreading the thought of seeing yet another poll with it neck-n-neck, in this case, Newt by 20.38 to Romeny 20.30.
Great to hear instead it's whole percents!
Good point.
Maybe all the Romney lies and vicious, malicious attacks against Newt are backfiring! Maybe Newt’s incredible record as House Speaker and his message of American exceptionalism is being heard. Whatever the reason, I hope Newt continues to gain in the Florida polls. Newt all the way to the White House!
Are you nuts aware how you people are being played by Soros,the Left and the GOP RINO establishment to reelect Obama by taking votes away from those who would stop Romney?
My Gawd,RuPaul is an ego-maniacal antisemitic racist isolationist who would destroy the Republican Party if he even got close to the nomination!!!
It’s tight. Big poll have a small margin of error. This poll shows only a 1.93% MOE.
Gingrich has likely stopped the Rombot tide and he should increase the lead some in the last 4 days.
Does anyone have a sense of what the polling was like in SC the day or two before the primary? I was out of the country and completely out of touch with what was going on in the state (my state, in fact...I had sent in an absentee ballot before leaving on travel). I was so pleasantly surprised to learn that Newt won, and won so decisively. Thanks!
It’s a nail-biter! This poll, showing them in a virtual tie, was completed before Newt’s two poor debate showings in Florida. I heard yesterday that Romney has spent between 8-10million on negative ads against Newt in Florida, versus Newt’s 500,000 in ads. Then we have somewhere between 100-300,000 early voting and absentee ballots in Florida that took place before the Newt surge. I honestly have no idea what the heck is going to happen in Florida, and have never felt more clueless about a primary result.
Go, Newt! America needs you.
