Last week brought yet another campaign reset for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis as a DailyMail.com poll found his support in the crucial early state of Iowa had crashed by nine percent. But stop to ask the actual men and women who will take part in the first contest to choose the Republican nominee next year and they will tell you to ignore the headlines and that there is a long, long way to go. 'I think that Trump is in the lead now, but Trump's gonna say something dumb and make a mistake, and people are gonna turn to Ron,'...

A month ago Gingrich and Romney were tied for the lead with Santorum running 10 points behind. Romney's staying competitive in North Carolina despite the fact that GOP voters there are pretty tepid toward him. Only 43% have a favorable opinion and an equal 43% see him negatively.
