PPP's newest- and perhaps final- poll on the national GOP race finds Mitt Romney running away with 54% of the Republican vote to 24% for Newt Gingrich and 14% for Ron Paul. Those numbers don't suggest Gingrich will have much of an ability to compete in any of the remaining primaries. Romney's net favorability is now +42 at 65/23, a 23 point improvement from a month ago when he was at +19 (54/35).
Romney is now winning all of the groups that he had struggled with over the course of the primary season. He's up 47-35 on Gingrich with Tea Partiers, 50-30 with Evangelicals, and 48-33 with 'very conservative' voters.
And from the PPP related article regarding the same this morning:
The most striking number in the poll may be Romney's 72/16 favorability with Tea Party voters. That's definitely indicative of a party base ready to get on the same page.
Your grasping some pretty thin, short straws if you think these results are a sign of a Newt surge or convention floor fight.
Reality does not choose sides. The facts are what they are. Newt has no chance what so ever. At this point, it is still considered a debatable issue, but after the 24th, it truly will be all over with. Romney will likely score well over 50% in the remaining states, and clinch the nomination much sooner than previously expected.
And let me point out; This is not my fault, and does not mean I am a Romney supporter. It mainly means that I am a realist and have done some very intense research into the matter. The facts are what they are and looking to blame someone, for something that is out of our control is rather childish and petty.
But if some here are determined to point fingers anyway, look no further than the fickle group of malcontent, “perfect” conservatives who bounced from Perry, Bachmann, Cain, Newt and Santorum, with the final nail in our coffin being Santorum. It was forewarned, predicted and the current outcome is exactly what was forecasted.
