Gallop National Poll - 1/14/12

[SenseForMiles]

Didn't see this posted anywhere, so here is today's Gallup National Poll:

1. Romney 35%
2. Santorum 14%
3. Paul 13%
3. Gingrich 13%
5. Perry 5%
6. Huntsman 3%

Ron Paul now tied with Gingrich for 3rd, and just 1 point behind Santorum. Keep in mind this is a rolling average and 2 of these polling days took place before the New Hampshire results Tuesday night. RP could possibly be in second place in the next couple of days :cool:

[mport1]

Ugh, we need to get ahead of Santorum.

[blazeKing]

I predict we'll be ahead of Santorum once the final two days taking into account NH come in...Probably 15 or 16%

[Emerick]

I've said this some times already. Our main opponent now is Santorum.

Remember, Bill Kristol said out and loud that the necon candidate is Santorum, not Gingrich nor Romney. In fact, Gingrich is almost done. They coalescing around Santorum. And, in some time from now, they will make Perry and another candidate leave the race. I hope Santorum leaves, because he's a stronger candidate than Gingrich - Gingrich has too much bagage.

So, WE MUST EXPOSE SANTORUM! This is our challenge now. If we get Santorum out of the race, it becomes a two horse race between Mitt and Ron.

Santorum is a weak candidate, not very congenial and his fiscal record is atrocious.

Keep exposing how he didn't say a peep about GWB growing the government like crazy and supported the expansion of big government and destruction of our rights

[maninblack]

How Santorum has fooled people into believing he's a conservative is anyone's guess.

Looking good but I don´t like the big gap that separates Romney. As the others drop out we basically have to garner much more of their support than Romney and that is no easy task right now.

Santorum has no organization or volunteer force to speak of. His name is missing on a number of state ballots. He has pulled moderate fundraising at best. He's significantly behind Barack Obama in every general election poll.

Mitt Romney has all of the above.

In other words, Santorum is a distraction. Mitt Romney is our #1 challenger, which is why the Campaign strategy of pushing this Paul vs Romney showdown is absolutely genius.

[demolama]

Gallup is so full of crap. They do not poll actual known Paul supporters.

[mport1]

Because he claims to be a christian and really hates gay people and Muslims?

[dskalkowski]

I predict we'll either be tied or ahead of Santorum by Monday. We've had some decent poll numbers, I think our national will pick up.

[kylejack]

Ugh, we need to get ahead of Santorum.
Coming soon.

Santorum is not at all strong, and he is on his way down in the polls. But I agree he was never properly vetted. They all must be, including Huntsman who would have signed NDAA. Otherwise media finds it too easy to create a surge out of nothing but hopes and ignorance.

Eh? What do you mean?

[Roy Bleckert]

Need to knock Mittens down 6 % & get Rons # up 7 % That would put Mittens @ 29% & Ron @ 20% then we have a 2 person race Mittens vs. Ron !

.... Wouldn't that defeat the whole purpose of a poll?

[jersdream]

Mittens is starting to run away with it.

[Xenophage]

Everyone not voting for Mitt needs to coalesce around Paul, or Mitt will win. The other candidates are not an option because Paul isn't dropping out, and has a solid base that isn't going elsewhere.

[KingRobbStark]

We should be in the 20's after SC.

[Agorism]

Ya we're not really going up, but the two clowns are bombing, and Romney is consolidating a large lead.

Yes, this is very disturbing.

[TheTexan]

I think we're reaching the final stage of this election. Romney has always been high, but now I think its his turn to surge. As long as we can maintain a strong second and hold out until the Romney surge falls out, we win.

[anthony0738]

I'm astounded that there are people out there who thinks an openly anti-gay candidate can win a general election. Pure nonsense.

A hard line evangelical will never win the election. It's been tried ever since they were called the 'moral majority' with Jerry Falwell and it's never worked. All it does is split the party so it inevitably becomes a watered down candidate that is settled for. This is a major fracture in the GOP.

We can't 'ignore' these people, but neither can we cater to them. They're losers and this election will prove it again.

The way it probably will play out is Ron will climb to second with Romney getting to about 40 or so. Perry and Huntsman are out after SC or at worst FL. Gingrich and frothy are both in trouble as well. If Ron can consolidate the not Romney vote after they all leave the race he is in a good place.
