Poll: Santorum, Gingrich lead Romney in Missouri The State Column | | Tuesday, January 31, 2012

Two Public Polling Policy polls of voters in Ohio and Missouri show Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich leading rivals Mitt Romney, and Ron Paul in the two mid-western states.

In Missouri, Mr. Gingrich is not on the primary ballot. Mr. Santorum finished with 45 percent of the votes among Missouri voters, with Mr. Romney trailing at 34 percent and Mr. Paul finishing third at 13 percent.

In Missouri, Mr. Gingrich is not on the primary ballot. Mr. Santorum finished with 45 percent of the votes among Missouri voters,

So another words without Newt on the ballot, Santorum finishes almost half....way more than Newt can get with Santorum off the ballot in the previous 4 states. Now who is it that needs to leave the campaign?????? Proof is in the pudding as they say.

This is true. Because Gingrich loses the female vote by 20-points or more, and if Santorum drops off, the votes will be divided more or less between Gingrich and Romney. Santorum is for a constitutional budget balance amendment. SatinDoll is perhaps the only one on the planet who thinks Gingrich rushed back to do his taxes and not to take care of his ill daughter.

I get sooo mad on here when I hear everyone say that Santorum needs to get out of the race! They have both won the same number of primaries, so how come Newt isn’t stepping aside? Santorum never supported Romney/Obamacare and he never shot a commercial supporting the idea of man-made global warming on a couch with San Fran Nan. I am of the opinion that Santorum is more conservative then Newt, but let’s be honest, anyone but Obama, but I don’t want to have to get drunk to vote again.

Everyone remembers when Santorum became a whiny kid during the South Carolina debates after the Romney camp ran only a few ads regarding his position allowing ex-felons to vote.

Let's see the polling on Santorum AFTER he is hit with $20+ million in negative ads as Gingrich experienced during the past few months. The fact that Gingrich still attained 32% in Florida (more than Romney in 2008) after the 92% negative ad assault while Santorum didn't even get half that speaks volumes.

Naps that’s just plain ridiculous...besides it’s been said Santorums deal is to stay in and gather voters...then give them to Romney so he can have the VP under Romney.

In your flailing about for any sign that Santorum is a viable candidate rather than roadkill, you happily ignore the Missouri "vote" is meaningless.

MO delegates are decided by caucuses in March, not this "election."

We'll see how Santorum does in Virginia where Newt isn't on the ballot. /s

Oops neither is Santorum.

Um, I think you made a typo. It wasn’t Gingrich. It was
Santorum said that is why he was going home.

If you haven’t figured out by now that Rick is a hypocrite, fully capable of using a sick daughter to his political advantage, it will be hard for you when it becomes patently obvious.

Rick Santorum is for a balanced budget amendment like Ron Paul is for legalized drugs: ain’t going to happen by either man. It is talk to get noticed, period.

They don’t like Mormon in Missouri—may have something to do with a Mormon shooting their Governor a while back.

Santorum couldn’t even beat Casey in PA for a SENATE seat. He’s staying in to help Mitt Romney and hurt Gingrich! That is obvious!

Your stuff is all from anti-Santorum websites since even Romney and Gingrich both call him a decent guy, and the approval numbers on his favorability proves this. He tops all the other three candidates.

My “stuff”, as you call it, consist of facts.

I research candidates, then weigh what they claim to be against their past performances.

If you don’t like what I’ve found about St.Rick the hypocrite, then that is your problem.
