Santorum Supporters

According to the recent Marquette University Law School poll conducted on the 16th-19th of Feb. Rick Santorum is leading the Mittster in the republican presidential  race 34% to 18%…almost doubling Romney’s Wisconsin voter support.

“In the Republican presidential primary in April, would you vote for Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul, Mitt Romney, or Rick Santorum, or would you not vote in the Republican primary?”

Gingrich 51
Paul 72
Romney 77
Santorum 146
Don’t know 73

If you want to get deeper into the numbers in Scott Walker’s state you can view the entire polling survey .pdf over at the Marquette University site.

The latest Washington state poll shows Rick Santorum up by eleven points  and when you look deeper inside the numbers Rick’s likeability is becoming a big factor in the 2012 republican GOP race.

“Wedged between the Michigan/Arizona primaries and Super Tuesday the Washington state GOP caucus hasn’t received a lot of attention. At least for now it looks like it could give Rick Santorum some momentum headed into the critical March 6th contests. He leads there with 38% to 27% for Mitt Romney, 15% for Ron Paul, and 12% for Newt Gingrich.”

Poll after poll in state after state now show Rick Santorum is the new presidential front runner. Across the nation we are starting to see many indicators pointing to the fact that republicans are coalescing around the battle tested, fiscal and social conservative, Rick Santorum. If you feel like further dissecting the Washington GOP poll numbers you can check the inside scoop over on the PPP site.

In a state that the Mittster was supposed to have in the bag, it now looks like Mr. Not So Inevitable is in a statistical dead heat with the surging full spectrum conservative Rick Santorum in Arizona.

“The Republican race for President in Arizona looks like a close one, with Mitt Romney leading Rick Santorum only 36-33. Newt Gingrich is third at 16% and Ron Paul fourth at 9%.”

Romney has been carrying a big lead in the heavily LDS populated state of Arizona, but as of today he now finds himself fighting for his political life in state after state as Mr. Santorum has pulled to within the Arizona PPP poll’s 4.8% margin of error with time to spare. A good debate performance tomorrow night could spell disaster for ol’ Mitt.

The Santorum surge continues to sweep across the country as Mitt Romney appears to be in a free fall at exactly the wrong time for him. Does Romney and all his money have time to recover by spnding many more millions bogus attack ads? Seriously, do you think calling Mr. Santorum a RHINO is going to work? Everyone knows that line is a bunch of hogwash…if anything, it is the Mittster that looks like the RHINO this election cycle.

“Rick Santorum’s nationwide lead expanded Monday in Gallup’s daily tracking poll, which showed the former Pennsylvania senator leading rival Mitt Romney by ten percentage points.

Santorum had the backing of 36% of registered Republicans nationwide, while 26% supported Romney. Numbers from Sunday showed a slightly smaller lead for Santorum over Romney, 36% to 28%.”

As Romney keeps bashing his numbers continue to drop nationally.  Maybe pone day Mitt could come up with a real message that real Americans could get behind? If  attacking Santorum with bogus nonsense is all that the Mittster can muster -  I am afraid he will need to wait another 4 more years and try again.

That’s funny considering he calls the other guys creatures of Washington…he would be a creature of Washington himself…if he could get elected.  Mitt we know your story…it’s a repeat and my advice to you is get a new story to pitch to republicans when you run next time.  The rest of this national poll story written by Ashley Killough and Kevin Liptak can be found over at the CNN  website.

In what could be a fatal death blow to Romney  – the poll numbers are starting to trickle in from the delegate rich and very conservative state of Texas…and boy do those numbers sure look good for Rick  Santorum.

“Former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania has a commanding lead among Republican presidential candidates in Texas, according to a new University of Texas/Texas Tribune poll.

Santorum would get the votes of 45 percent of the respondents if the election were held today, according to the survey. The other three candidates in the GOP race — former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and U.S. Rep. Ron Paul of Texas — are clustered well behind. Gingrich got 18 percent, Romney received 16 percent and Paul garnered 14 percent.”

Rick fever is sweeping the nation and this recent Texas republican primary poll shows Texas has caught the fever, big-time. This Texas poll all but confirms the fact that Rick Santorum is the republican positioned best to beat Barack Obama in November. To read more on this Texas Tribune/University of Texas poll you can head over to the TT website to read the lengthy 2012 Texas GOP poll report.

The Santorum surge has officially swept the nation, and rightfully so. According to the Scott Rasmussen poll done on Feb. 15  Rick Santorum has opened up  12 point margin on his closest GOP rival, Mitt Romney.

“Follow the bouncing ball. Former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum has now bounced to a 12-point lead over Mitt Romney in the race for the Republican presidential nomination.”

Rasmussen also says also says the lastest numbers show Santorum leading Romney by 21 points in a head to head race. Head over to Rasmussen website to get the full details on the 2012 GOP election report.

All the pollsters have been showing Santorum up in Ohio and Scott Rasmussen’s latest Ohio numbers report Rick is up big…so big in-fact that the Mittster may not be able to overcome the Santorum surge in Ohio.

“Former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum continues to ride his polling momentum into Ohio where he leads Mitt Romney by nearly two-to-one in the first Rasmussen Reports survey of Republicans in the state.”

The Rasmussen Ohio poll article can be read in it’s entirety over at the Rasmussen Reports website.

It’s all falling apart in Ohio and across the nation for  the failing GOP candidate we loving like to refer to as  ‘The Mittster’. In Quinnipiac University poll released on the 15th is up 7 points on Romney  the crucial swing state of Ohio.

“Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum shoots to the top among Ohio likely Republican primary voters with 36 percent, followed by 29 percent for former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich runs third with 20 percent, while Texas U.S. Rep. Ron Paul gets 9 percent.”

Well, it sure looks like Mr. Inevitable is having trouble even on his home turf! Rick Santorum has taken a huge lead in Michigan according to this PPP poll.

“Rick Santorum’s taken a large lead in Michigan’s upcoming Republican primary. He’s at 39% to 24% for Mitt Romney, 12% for Ron Paul, and 11% for Newt Gingrich.”

The three state sweep of conservative voters in Missouri, Minnesota and Colorado has propelled Rick into the front runner spot in Michigan. It’s still very early,  but with Santorum up this big it could spell the beginning of the end for the Mittster in 2012.
