Gallup has released today’s Daily Tracking Poll. Here are the graphics courtesy of Gallup:
After shooting up three points yesterday, Mitt Romney has stalled at 34%. Did he hit his head hard on the 35% barrier, or will he break through? Only time will tell.
Newt Gingrich rose a point and took back second place from Rick Santorum who dropped a point to fall into third.
Second and third place has changed hands no fewer than four times in the past five days. It is readily apparent that the momentum of big Santorum surge is over. It crested four days ago and has been steadily losing ground ever since.
Gingrich’s decline has slowed quite a bit. His trend has several little bounces in it, yet each succeeding bounce starts lower than the previous bounce. The is not a good sign for our former Speaker of the House.
Ron Paul dropped back a point and still remains rock solid in fourth place. By remaining steady at 12 or 13%, and Santorum and Gingrich declining from their respective highs, Paul is now part of a three way tussle for second.
Rick Perry and Jon Huntsman are still not doing much of anything down at the bottom of the pile. Unless one of them makes a big move in South Carolina, I have my doubts they will last to Florida, let only past it.

Romney needs to capitalize on Gingrich, Perry’s and to a lesser degree Huntsman’s statements regarding the free enterprise system. Gingrich knows his PAC’s movie and ads are stepping over the line of truth. He needs to put the truth of what he did and accomplished out there in the PRIVATE SECTOR. Then he needs to put out adds attacking these “conservatives” for going after free enterprise (not him) showing that they’re all career politicians who simply, like Obama, don’t know how the free economy works.

3 more polling days until pre-NH data is expelled.

Romney = Gingrich + Santorum + Perry

Expect Mitt to go higher this coming week. He will rise in SC, and with each passing day he will win the Bain meme a little bit more.
Gingrich won’t drop out in SC to “throw” his support to Santorum. Santorum would never have done the same for Gingrich….recall his response to Newt’s socialist garbage on Bain.

I love the picture Gallup used for Paul

There must be a larger margin of error in these Gallup polls than in other polls …
… Mitt Romney does not have anything near 30 % in committed voters
& I doubt that he has anything near 31 % in voters that are
considering voting for him !!!
