Yes, big differences in some of the recent polls, but in general, polls which include thurs and fri data are more favorable to Romney than polls including only sat and sun. That shows some movement around thurs or fri. Possible explanations are backlash against black thursday, cain endorsement, palins words, tea party endorsements. Also the Thursday night debate, while not great for Newt, I thought, showed Romney to appear vindictive. We’ll know more tomorrow, thanks for the info.
I agree with you that Romney came across as vindictive. In the Frank Luntz focus group after the debate, the group were strongly with Newt for trying to get Blitzer off the nonsense question about Romney’s question. It was a setup question that no matter how Newt responds, he looks negative. Romney never had a question about his cheap shot on Reagan’s diary and only one mention of Newt. By then Michael Reagan and Jeffery Lord and the video of Nancy awarding Newt on behalf of Pres. Reagan in ‘95.
Romney only got to 40% in NH, his neighboring state. I think the polls we are seeing are lagging back to Thu and Fri, and this one clearly has shown results of the strong weekend Newt is having. Also, I finally received the first anti-Romney mailer yesterday from Newt’s supporters’ PAC. I have gotten tons of junk from Romney and his PAC for weeks. Still, with all that money blown, this guy is struggling to get to 40%. Romney is weak. If Newt had 1/3 of the money Romney has, this would be a blowout for Newt. We will see...
