Rasmussen conducted a national poll of 1,000 likely Republican primary voters yesterday, and it confirmed what Gallup’s tracking poll also shows — Newt Gingrich’s second boomlet is for real. In the Rasmussen poll, Gingrich has vaulted to a seven-point lead as Romney settles back into the mid-20s:

After his game-changing win in South Carolina, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich continues to ride his surge to the front of the pack among likely Republican primary voters nationwide. He now leads Mitt Romney by seven points.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely GOP Primary Voters shows Gingrich with 35% of the vote, representing an eight-point increase in support from last week.

It has to become a race for second between romney and santorum or romney and kookpaul if santorum is out.

Newt neets an overwhelming lead. He just does not have the money that romney has. The scorched earth negative adds by “romney supporters” are out in full force panic mode.

I had no idea that 28 per cent of Republicans were either Mormon or worked for Bain capital or worked for the social welfare state or were officials in the Republican Party which evidently is an entity of the social welfare state.

I wouldn’t want Santorum as Newt’s VP. Debating on facts is one thing - but he want over the line and now I consider him a liar. I have no use for liars. And I wouldn’t be surprised if he backs Mitt - that is if his ego allows him to step down and take off his halo.

Newt will definitely win as my Newt coffee cup and bumper sticker came and I’m drinking coffee with Newt right now.

I’ll use this cup for drinking anything until he wins the nomination and that’s a sure cosmic reason why he will win as I’m sure these cups are magic.
