Fox News Poll: Santorum Surges Nationally After Three-State Sweep By Dana Blanton February 10, 2012
Rick Santorum has surged nationally in the race for the 2012 Republican nomination after his three-state sweep this week, while Mitt Romney has lost ground among GOP primary voters. In addition, most GOP voters say the nomination race isn’t over -- someone other than Romney could still win. That’s according to a Fox News poll released Friday.
The new poll was conducted over four nights this week -- Monday through Thursday -- so it provides a unique opportunity to compare Santorum’s support before and after his wins in Colorado, Minnesota and Missouri. And the results are striking.

In interviews conducted on Monday and Tuesday nights -- immediately before the news of his victories -- Santorum received the backing of 17 percent of GOP primary voters. That was well behind Romney (35 percent) and Newt Gingrich (26 percent), and slightly ahead of Ron Paul (14 percent).
In interviews conducted on Wednesday and Thursday nights -- after his wins -- Santorum’s support nearly doubled, which put him tied at the top with Romney for those two days at 30 percent. That’s an increase of 13 percentage points. Over the last two nights, Romney also received 30 percent, a drop of 5 points. Gingrich came in at 16 percent, down 10 points. Paul’s support held steady at 15 percent.
Looking at the results from all four nights of this week’s interviewing, Romney retains his frontrunner spot with 33 percent, followed by Santorum at 23 percent, Gingrich at 22 percent and Paul at 15 percent.

Okay. You win. Just promise you’ll do it again in November.
Thanks for your thoughtful post.
I’m sure in the fall we’ll be hand-in-hand against Obama and for our candidate.
Newt has still out raised Santorum by a considerable margin and has plenty to keep his campaign alive until the Convention. But we still give you credit, for a n00b you are very entertaining.
Sounds like Gingrich may have been Romney’s stalking horse all along...< /newtopian logic>
Go out and celebrate. Newt's done.
You've won.
Just let me know the game plan to repeat your victory in November. I'd like to get on board.
Thanks.
LOL! Here! Give him a “6-pack” to celebrate with! (That’ll sure keep him busy!)
And maybe he will go somewhere else for a while to boot.....
“I’m sure in the fall we’ll be hand-in-hand against Obama and for our candidate.”
For sure!
LOL!
Forget about the feelings that some have for Rick Santorum, if all of us don’t back him and support him Romney might just run away with the GOP nomination...

I really think the choice is between Rick and Newt. Willard's been marginalized.
Go on, keep fighting Newt Gingrich and his supporters, but if we don’t support and rally around Newt Romney might just run away with the GOP nomination..
With Newtie’s money trough drying up, it’s time to pack it in and head back to his book tour....
