Three way tie in Tennessee for GOP primary according to new poll

Here are our findings from Sunday’s calls:

Date: 3/4//2012 - Participants: 1,023 Likely GOP voters - Margin of Error: ± 3.06%
Gingrich Paul Romney Santorum
29% 12% 30% 29%

We picked up a thread of discussion by Santorum lamenting the continued presence of Newt Gingrich in the race–understandable if you buy into his logic that he would auto-import many of Gingrich’s diehards should the former Speaker drop out. But Gingrich is hanging in there (watch him in Oklahoma, too), and will undoubtedly be a factor on Super Tuesday.

And really how did he manage to surge 10 points in around two days, without doing anything in TN?

Romney and Santorum have both fallen from the last poll, TWO DAYS AGO, Gingrich is up around 9.

But hey's its ARG so who the hell knows.

On the eve of the Michigan primary (i.e., a week ago), he was up 20 points in TN. Poll could be an outlier, but if not -- wow.
