I agree about Newt blowing two debates and he can blame himself for the inept performance. But, the poll numbers were taken BEFORE Cain endorsement and BEFORE Sarah was all over foxnews. It may be a bit late because romney is carpetbombing Newt with goldman sachs/wall street money..

Cain endorsement doesn’t matter....Sarah’s one state endorsement of Newt will help close the gap but it might be too late to overcome Romney if this is accurate
