Not in the first three. Mitt is leading a great deal in Iowa and in NH. If he wins those and SC too, I don't see how he gets stopped.
I'm not paying a lot of attention right now, like almost all Americans. I think that Mitt is trying really hard not to peak in the national polls right now. The first thing most people will wake up to is Mitt winning in Iowa, then following that with NH.
He'll be like a shiny new penny that few people had even noticed. Handsome and well-spoken, he will seem like a fresh alternative to Rudy, and the tired twins: McCain and Thompson.
I'm not speaking as a partisan. It's just that Romney is a very attractive candidate, especially at first glance. He is running a classic campaign, focusing exactly where he has to--and beating the other guys there--think of that. There is very little similarity between Iowa, NH, and SC; except that they are crucial, and that winning all three has been a sure strategy for winning the nomination. Mitt seems to be doing just that.

My point is in the primary season national pollls don’t really mean that much, it’s the state polls that matter.
