InsiderAdvantage Poll (FL): Gingrich Surging, Race 'Tighter Than Expected'
Newsmax ^ | 1-29-2012 | Staff

Posted on 01/29/2012 8:05:02 PM PST by TitansAFC

A new InsiderAdvantage poll conducted Sunday night of likely Republican voters in the state of Florida shows a significant surge for Newt Gingrich.

The poll has Mitt Romney leading with 36 percent of voters, followed by Gingrich at 31 percent.

The Sunday results of 646 likely GOP voters are as follows: Romney 36 percent Gingrich 31 percent Santorum 12 percent Paul 12 percent Other/Undecided 9 percent "The race will be tighter than expected," Matt Towery, chief pollster of InsiderAdvantage told Newsmax.

Towery noted that his poll showed a surge for Romney on Wednesday, with him leading Gingrich by 8 points. The InsiderAdvantage poll was among the first to show Romney's resurgence after his dismal showing in the S. Carolina primary.

The InsiderAdvantage poll was also the first to show Gingrich's rise in S. Carolina and accurately forecast his win there.

"The trend is favoring Gingrich," Towery said, noting that while Romney's lead was still outside the margin of error of 3.8 percent, "It's not by much.".........

If Santorum will lend his support to America and Newt we can thwart romney. It may work out without his help, but it would make it a sure thing if he did.

The endorsements probably helped a little bit.

However, it is also important to factor in the advertising timing. Mitt has been saturating the Florida airwaves non-stop with ads for a month. Because of his financial disadvantage, Newt bought the bulk of his advertising spots Friday-Tuesday, to maximize impact.

The endorsements and FINALLY having significant advertising have probably started to have some effect.

“’Tighter Than Expected’ “

Yeah, right. Only because we are getting closer to election day and the polls HAVE to come in closer to the truth if they want to be treated as relevant.

Just watched (long as I could) WhoreAldo on Fox. Wanted to through up, you would have thought he was still on CNN. What a dip.

He was gloating over Newt getting trashed. Would love to see that sucker eat crow.

"On the eve of Florida’s increasingly raucous GOP primary, Gingrich is settling once more into the familiar, against-all-odds role he’s always relished, from his storied days as House speaker to his early campaigns to his childhood, when the chubby, awkward Newtie would pretend to get beat up by a friend and lie on the sidewalk until a car pulled up. “Newt would jump up and scream ‘Surprise!’ ” the friend told Time magazine in 1995, adding that it was always Newt who wanted to play dead."

Newt's got them where he wants them! -:)

I forgot about the late advertising by Newt! Fabulous! They’ve got to be having an impact.

I honestly think Romney’s negative carpet bombing has to turn voters off at some point. Hope he has overdone it!!
