Rasmussen Reports’ first Republican primary survey in Mississippi shows former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney leading his closest competitors by eight points.
A new statewide telephone survey of Likely GOP Primary Voters in the Magnolia State shows Romney with 35% of the vote, while former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich each draw support from 27%. Texas Congressman Ron Paul runs last with six percent (6%). One percent (1%) prefers some other candidate, and four percent (4%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
However, when the race is narrowed down to just the top two national front-runners, it’s Romney 46%, Santorum 44%.
Mississippi, along with Alabama, will hold its primary this coming Tuesday. Sixty percent (60%) of the state’s primary voters are certain of their vote, while 36% say they could still change their minds.
Regardless of preference, 72% of Mississippi primary voters expect Romney to be the eventual nominee. Only 14% feel Santorum will win the nomination, while six percent (6%) say the same of Gingrich.

At this point, I honestly don't care WHO wins between Santorum and Gingrich and I sure hope and pray the two camps will consider putting their differences aside, joining forces, and launching a barrage of negative ads against Romney throughout the weekend or else I fear this primary race could be over. Just sayin'.
Hum? I thought there was a poll a few minutes ago that said Gingrich was up by 10.
Have you ever been to Mississippi? If you had, you wouldn’t believe a word of this. I’m not from here, but I’ve lived here of-and-on from 2001, and I’ll eat a pint of kimchee if Milt wins this state.
Rass better put out a corrected poll by Tuesday because this poll is bupkis.
Let’s pretend this poll is true. It does make sense possibly in that Romney’s campaign has been very adept at destroying the enthusiasm of the base. It’s like a snake slowly strangling its victim.
Newt will win Mississippi. No worries
Yours is about the 3rd or 4th time today that this poll has been posted.

I really do hope you’re right about this! I can’t tell you how much I’m hoping Rasmussen got this one wrong.
I know. :-)
Rasmussen threw Fox News and the GOP-E a bone with this poll.
That was ARG, I think. Willard has started running the same ads in MS as he did in Florida, one particularly filthy one about Newt resigning in disgrace. It is just horrendous. Can someone please tell me why the so-called conservative media don’t call this excuse for a human being on his filth and lies. Other candidates, Santorum or Newt, get ahead and he comes in and dumps his crap all over the place.
Oh, and tonight, Beck, like a lot of people predicted on Free Republic, started his it’s-time-to-wrap-it-up and go with romney schtick. This is so scripted.
Even my left wing local news station (at times) out of West Palm is reporting Newt is ahead in MS.
from a friend of mine on the ground in MS...
Friends, I have spent the better part of the last two days with a tireless and inspirational man. This Newt campaign has really been an honor. He is warm, intelligent and cares for America like nobody I have ever seen. He sincerely bleeds red, white and blue. I saw crowds fom 250 to nearly 1000 in the last 48 hours. These folks have been glued to each word and I saw inspiration in their eyes.
I’ve chatted with Newt and he truly is grateful for each and every soul in every encounter. I’m thrilled to see that we are winning here and Alabama. I hope it continues with all my heart. These other candidates are fine men but Newt was hand crafted for this unique challenge that our country now faces. I truly pray that Americans get this one right. Please do consider joining us this Sunday night. You will be amazed by this walking little chunk of history that we call Newt. ;)
PLEASE, PLEASE MAKE CALLS FOR NEWT EVERYBODY, PLEASE, ALL WEEKENDS LONG!

I didn’t realize that. That said, I haven’t seen anyone else other than myself even acknowledge this poll in the numerous polling threads currently posted in the “Breaking News” and “Front Page News” sections. Everyone seems so pre-occupied arguing over whether Gingrich or Santorum will (or should) win while ignoring the giant elephant in the room... and that is Romney quietly appears to be moving within striking distance of first place in every current Alabama or Mississippi poll I’ve seen.
what made me smile was when he called Newt our “walking little chunk of history”... oh my. :)
Well, we all knew or should have known that Beck would endorse Romney eventually.

I am on a Scotch bender listening to this on my Hi Fi speakers. Bose made great stuff back in the day.
