I take two meanings from this poll: First, it is a Rasmussen poll which means that it's very likely to be accurate. I know he polled 700 likely caucus goers. Rasmussen's methodology is good and he is usually right on.

Second, this poll confirms the momentum which has been up for Gingrich and down for his two competitors, Romney and Cain. Although we are far away from the January caucus event, Romney and McCain will have a difficult time stopping their fall, reversing the direction and overtaking Gingrich. Absent an intervening event such as a scandal or a monumental gaffe by Gingrich, the trajectory of the arrows show Gingrich pulling away from the other two and we would expect that to continue.

Good points, Nathan

I would also add, that Gingrich is not new to the majority of us and his slow but steady rise is the result of us knowing fully, who and what he is, his past is quite well known, but most of us are beyond that.

what we know is what Gingrich has clearly displayed in the debates, as well as his strong participation and activity in his campaign. He is knocking on doors, shaking hands and connecting with people.

More importantly, he displays the strongest ability of how to handle that 3 am call on the crisis hot line, and he certainly knows how to handle the Middle East and China.

Few other candidates are even remotely in his class or have the logical ability to handle the very difficult job ahead. Any candidate who has to rely on other people (experts) in order to make the right decisions has no business even being close to the White House in the coming years.
