I think most of the people still voting for Santorum at this point are an extreme (relative to neocons) non-Romney vote. They won't switch to him because he's Mormon, not solid pro-life, and a moderate "establishment" candidate. For whatever reason or another Gingrich is a viable option for a lot of Santorum voters, but more than people think will go to Paul because of his strong family values and being staunchly pro-life and anti-establishment.

Polls are pretty manipulative. My brother just posted this on my wall. (Michigan). He's an anybody but Obama guy, but I've shifted him more to at least the 'Paul please?' camp.


Hey.... just got a robo call (survey) asking a bunch of questions... get these last few questions:
(surveyor) Would you vote for Obama or ANY of the republican candidates running. (me) ANY
(surveyor) Would you vote for Obama or Mitt Romney. (me) uh... is Romney a republican? didn't I just answer that?
(surveyor) Thanks have a nice day... (me) uh... what about???
(surveyor) click

So apparently I just beefed up the likely "Romney" support. Nice huh? Wish I had asked what poll... now I know why these are so off the mark.

I am just happy that there is a poll out there willing to be called the EPIC poll.

Not really what I would call "epic", but we got room to grow. Is this a winner-take-all?

Winner take all per Congressional district.
