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.
If you want to find their page, Google "Exclusive Florida GOP Primary poll shows Gingrich Romney neck and neck"
Maybe Newt is picking up from Santorum. Looks like it given the 9% for Santorum in the pull.
How are they able to get two decimal points of precision on 2,600 voters? 0.38% isn’t a significant lead with 95% confidence unless there are 66,500 or more respondents in the survey.
It’s a dead heat...
Who’s more arrogant in your opinion, Mitt Romney or Barack Obama?
For me, it’s a tough choice
Why they have to have a copyright complaint block is beyond me. I tried posting it to News/Current events but couldn’t.
Oh well, they only limit traffic coming to their site...
But the info there is still useful, for educational/informative purposes.
Michael Reagan is suppose to be campaigning for Newt in Florida this weekend. I wonder if that will help.

I think there is potential....but there needs to be a recognition that folks being played into voting for a loser by the MSM. They will rise up if there are enough people to see this in time.
2,567 likely voters to be precise.
Thanks Laissez-faire capitalist.
Newt needs to absolutely hammer Romneycare in the next few days. Pam Bondi, Mitt’s health care witch, has already said they’d like to impose Romneycare in all 50 states!
There would have to be a significant pool. Probably at the level you affixed to it (65k). Maybe more.
Nonetheless, it is a dead heat with Newt by a nose.
Didn’t that poll end several days ago?
No problemo.
Just released, though from 23-25.
With that many polled (2,567) nothing has changed much.
Other polling firms will often release their polls in a similar fashion.
Perhaps the super size pool reflects this.
Newt probably dropped a bit from that terrible, unprepared debate performance. Sarah can only do so much, Newt needs to turn it on the next couple days. Santorum needs to drop out, he is getting 9-15% in some polls and most of that would go to newt. Why do the conservatives have to split the vote!!
You are right, but a dead-heat is an improvement.
Santorum has said again and again he is in it for the long run, and will prevail in the end after Newt & Mitt expose each others baggage to the fullest and kill of each other.
Was gonna say the same. No sense voting for Rick if he can't win it. Many voters may switch to Newt just to stop Romney and help Rick live to fight another day.
