If this poll was Monday-Thursday and most people weren’t aware of the Santorum Sweep until Tuesday night, expect an even greater surge in polls that are completely post-sweep.
Now that Santorum has the “mo”, it’s up to him to figure out how to sustain it.
It may also help Santorum that the Texas primary appears to be postponed until later in the spring or early summer over redistricting battles. It would likely had been a Gingrich win had it gone off the first week of April as planned but now that huge chunk of delegates is really up for grabs.
Today's result from Feb 3rd - Feb 9th (2/3 before Iowa, 1/3 after):
Romney 34% (-2)
Santorum 22% (+2)
Gingrich 18% (-2)
Paul 10% (E)
Yes, the delay of the Texas primary may hurt Newt because he has Rick Perry’s support.
But in this election, who the heck knows?
