All we have at the moment is the tweet:
"Tennessee: Santorum 34, Romney 29, Gingrich 27, Paul 8"
Public Policy Polling will release the PDF with all the pertinent numbers & methodologies & cross-tabs later tonight.

“I’m not really sure why the Santorum should drop for Newt - Newt hasn’t beaten him anywhere since Florida.”
Maybe because Newt would be a better President.
Of course Dumbo would be better than the illegal one sitting in the WhiteHouse now.
Remember, Santorum’s February trifecta of victories was in little caucuses that few people actually participated in. Newt has garnered more votes than Santorum (but it’s close):

989,187 v. 956,245
“Woo hoo! This is changing fast. Maybe by Tuesday Newt can get 40% and take this”
Clearly the momemtum favors Newt. I hope he peaks on election day and takes it. He has been rising in Ohio. GO NEWT GO!
A vote for Newt is a vote for Romney.NO NEWT NO!!!
He will not be president. Why waste a vote. Stop building him up while the other guy (Newt) has the best chance to beat Obama.
Rick will not get out as long as you artificially build him up as a non Romney vote.
OK I’ll give you delegates. PPP just tweeted it’s Georgia numbers (polling on 3/3 & 3/4):

“Georgia: Gingrich 47, Romney 24, Santorum 19, Paul 8. Looks like some chance Newt could even hit 50...”
This is significant, because many of Georgia delegates are allocated as winner-take-all when a candidate hits the 50% mark within a given Congressional district. So it look a like Newt will take a very big portion of those 76 GA delegates.
A vote for anyone but Newt is a vote for Mr. obama!
Go Newt Go!!!
Grammar: “it’s” in my prior post should be “its.” Glad we cleared that up.
Off-topic, but notice how they don’t cotton to Ron Paul in the South. The nut can’t even get his customary 10%.
Nice! I was talking more about Tennessee and Oklahoma. Newt may not win outright (trends look good), but it’s important for him to rack up as many delegates as possible. On March 13 he will get two big wins in Alabama and Mississippi.
Santorum’s down by three to six vs Obama.
Gingrich is down by fifteen.
Even if Santorum were to drop - Newt isn’t going to beat Romney in places like Ohio and Wisconsin, areas that Newt is going to have to win in order to win the Republican nomination.
If Santorum drops - Romney will be the winner of the republican nomination.
Then he has a chance to prove that on Tuesday.
Lord, I hope so.
So Newt isn’t the social conservative candidate?
I’m not sure how attacking social conservatives is going to help him win the nomination.
Seems to me that Newt needs the social conservatives, but then I could be mistaken.
I agree. By Tuesday Newt shall surprise, after all these stellar performances this week end, as his numbers rise by the day. He will take some delegates and is picking up Santorum’s supporters along the way to Tuesday.
PPP’s final numbers for Ohio, Tennessee & Georgia are finally out; press release plus link to PDF:

____________________________________
“Split decision for Super Tuesday
The news is good for Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich and bad for Rick Santorum in PPP’s final polls of the three biggest Super Tuesday states.
In Ohio Romney leads with 37% to 36% for Santorum, 15% for Gingrich, and 11% for Ron Paul.
In Tennessee Santorum leads with 34% to 29% for Romney, 27% for Gingrich, and 8% for Paul.
In Georgia Gingrich leads with 47% to 24% for Romney, 19% for Santorum, and 8% for Paul.
A week ago Santorum had a huge lead in Tennessee, a decent sized one in Ohio, and seemed like he had a good chance for second in Georgia. Now he’s barely holding on in Tennessee, ever so slightly behind in Ohio, and seems doomed for third in Georgia.
Romney’s fortunes have swung the other direction. What was looking like a runner up finish in Ohio is looking more like a win with each passing day. He has an outside chance at pulling off an upset win in Tennessee. And it looks like he’ll finish a solid second in Georgia.
The news for Gingrich is good too. It’s been expected he would win Georgia, but it looks now like he could even hit the 50% mark. And he’s pulled within striking distance of Santorum and Romney in Tennessee.”
