The last day before the Florida primary left the contest very much up for grabs between Newt Gingrich and rival Mitt Romney.
Less than 24 hours after a poll taken by Quinnipiac University showed Newt Gingrich trailing Romney by 14 points, a new poll showed late-breaking and heavy movement in favor of the former House Speaker.
According to the InsiderAdvantage poll of 646 likely Republican voters, Gingrich was just five points behind Romney, and the gap was closing.

"Observers say Florida may be a tighter contest than anyone expects, and will clearly not be the end of the road for either of the major candidates."

The Polling agency have to have close numbers to be relevant the next election.
There closing because they had to remove the Pro Mittens monkey juice they had been deliberately added to quash the Newt Voters.

I heard Limbaugh say today not to be surprised if its closer than we expected because those who hate Romney REALLY REALLY are motivated. LOL!

The MSM and republican establishment have been pushing this massive Romney tidal wave of support nonsense and showing these polls that have Romney at +15 or more over Gingrich. I assume that their goal is to suppress voter turnout for Gingrich, but they may have shot themselves in the foot. If Gingrich loses by say 5 points, it will look like a victory and seem like Romney really underperformed expectations.

Remeber how anxious they were to report Santorum’s surge in IA? News of any good polling for Newt has been kept quiet so as not to influence the election. Its the establishment and the media against Newt and the Tea Party.

We will be able to tell how this is going soon enough by the body language of the talking heads.

I strongly suspect this poll and the Insider Advantage commentary about “late breaking movement”(paid for by Newsmax) was rigged/massaged to get site hits.
New ARG poll finds that 36% have already voted and they’ve gone 51% Romney and 29% Gingrich.

"poll" not "polls." The only one that has supposedly "tightened" in Florida is the Insider Advantage Poll.
To: gov_bean_ counter
Indeed and if Newt wins, they will be spinning all night. If Romney wins, I’ll be upset all night.
