Fox News Poll: Santorum Surges Nationally After Three-State Sweep By Dana Blanton February 10, 2012
Rick Santorum has surged nationally in the race for the 2012 Republican nomination after his three-state sweep this week, while Mitt Romney has lost ground among GOP primary voters. In addition, most GOP voters say the nomination race isn’t over -- someone other than Romney could still win. That’s according to a Fox News poll released Friday.
The new poll was conducted over four nights this week -- Monday through Thursday -- so it provides a unique opportunity to compare Santorum’s support before and after his wins in Colorado, Minnesota and Missouri. And the results are striking.

In interviews conducted on Monday and Tuesday nights -- immediately before the news of his victories -- Santorum received the backing of 17 percent of GOP primary voters. That was well behind Romney (35 percent) and Newt Gingrich (26 percent), and slightly ahead of Ron Paul (14 percent).
In interviews conducted on Wednesday and Thursday nights -- after his wins -- Santorum’s support nearly doubled, which put him tied at the top with Romney for those two days at 30 percent. That’s an increase of 13 percentage points. Over the last two nights, Romney also received 30 percent, a drop of 5 points. Gingrich came in at 16 percent, down 10 points. Paul’s support held steady at 15 percent.
Looking at the results from all four nights of this week’s interviewing, Romney retains his frontrunner spot with 33 percent, followed by Santorum at 23 percent, Gingrich at 22 percent and Paul at 15 percent.

Ok then pick one
Lunatic Fringe (R)
Lunatic Fringe (D)
Lunatic Fringe(Paul) If you have trouble picking one, you may be on the wrong forum.
But Obama was BLACK and he assuaded their white guilt by voting for him.
And, because of that, quit as a Representative in the House, after just being reelected, thereby backstabbing all of those who worked for his reelection and voted for him.
You hit on some very key points. Reagan ran during a time when America was still a whole lot more basically Conservative than it is now. There is very little resemblance or comparison of the America then, and the America now.
There is a new underlying majority among Blacks and Hispanics that is not even being considered. Add to that, the new generations of younger indoctrinated voters who have been given their political views from the Public education system.
The Demographics of the new America is not even close to the same as it was during Reagan's time. (I was there. I worked for Reagan's campaign.)
I guess she must think we are all “lunatic fringe”? Reagan too.
It's obvious, you know very little about the real Real Santorum. Blind support won't produce anything but future frustration, which you will soon learn the hard way and it will also be too late for the rest of us as well.
splitting the Conservative vote and isolating it to a few hard core conservatives among the general population of voters is a guaranteed failure in today's America.
Wow who would that be? Enquiring minds wanna know.
That's a great point. I probably wouldn't stay home. But I would be tempted to, really tempted to. Not because of dislike for Santorum but because I'm so tired of voting and watching the other guy win. :(
I pick Jesus but he’s not on the ballot.
Not I. I have no love for Santorum; I see right through him.
Read your tagline! :-)
“Shove this crap up your paulbot butt.”
Are you saying that to me because I am a Santorum supporter?
Hey, KC --- I know it's sometimes tough to come into a thread in the middle of a "conversation".
But if you're going to throw about vapid comments at least understand the context and meaning of the post you think you're quoting.
Just makes for a more intelligent debate. Thanks.

WHY ever not? He must be thoroughly vetted, especially because he flied under radar up to now.
For most people, including me, Rick Santorum was just a disgraced senator, who badly lost his reelection with 41% to 59% in 2006 ...
The more I'm reading about his record, the less I like him.
Santorum is the guy who wrote in more than $3.5 billion in earmarks during his career. "Fiscal conservative"? Hardly.
Santorum is the guy , who cheated his state of almost $100,000 for his personal use and never gave back the money.
During his years in the Senate, Santorum raised his family in northern Virginia, and not in his Pittsburgh suburb house he claimed to be his main residence. Pennsylvania voters were shocked when they found out the Penn Hills School District of that suburb had paid out $72,000 for the home cyberschooling of five of Santorum’s kids, hundreds of miles away in a different state. Santorum never returned the money.
Santorum is the guy who put up a "charity", which was indeed only a money scam.
In 2001 Santorum launched a charitable foundation called the 'Operation Good Neighbor Foundation, ' which rose more than $1 million. Where did the majority of the charity’s money go? In salaries and consulting fees to a network of politically connected lobbyists, aides and fundraisers, including rent and office payments to Santorum’s finance director Rob Bickhart.
A responsible charity doles out at least 75 percent of its income in grants, but the 'Operation Good Neighbor Fund' contribution was less than 36 percent. The charity – which didn’t register with the state of Pennsylvania as required under the law, was finally disbanded in 2007.
I can go on and on ...
Back away from the bong ... you’re making a fool of yourself.
You’re right. We have to wait until the perfect candidate comes along. The Bible says He’s coming back, but doesn’t say when.
You’d have to answer that one for yourself. But would YOUR choice be any of those listed? They would not have been on my list of candidates.
None of those in the race this time would have been on my list. But I don’t know who I would install as king. It’s much easier to pick the least objectionable from a list, than it is to pick the one you want the most.
I’ve read every post on the thread. You think Santorum will be painted as lunatic fringe, because he is pro-life, and thus lose. I disagree. I also know that the media will try to destroy whoever we nominate. It will be up to the candidate to stay on message.
Besides, if anyone is extreme when it comes to life issues, it is Obama. I’d love to see Santorum bring out his votes against the Born Alive Infant Protection Act! Now, that is “lunatic fringe”!
