I’ve previously had Parts I and II, but now that the field has narrowed, we’ve gone from graphs to a simple chart. To be honest, I was very surprised at the results – a couple of thoughts:
- Very surprised that Mitt & Santorum are the highest rated for intensity. That said, if you click on I & II above, their intensity scores have actually dropped a tad, but still equal with each other.
- Huntsman – Given that he’s out (but that this poll was done before he dropped) shows that his support was, well, pretty bad. And this does not signal good things for Rick Perry with a similar score.
- Newt – as the Gallup post points out as well, his was the biggest drop since the last time I had looked.
However, all reports agreed that Newt, hands down, was the large winner in this last debate, it will be rather interesting to see if that changes anything here. And of course, the poll that will mean the most will be Saturday when South Carolina heads to the polls.
Nope, not going to make any predictions. Sure, it seems Romney like Romney and Santorum are leading right now, but this is why the game is played.
Still, the gap shows that when people pick, they stick for for the top two (mostly) which means there’s a whole of people who may be straying from the others…
