A new InsiderAdvantage poll conducted Sunday night of likely Republican voters in the state of Florida shows a significant surge for former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.

The Sunday results of 646 likely GOP voters are as follows:

Romney 36 percent
Gingrich 31 percent
Santorum 12 percent
Paul 12 percent
Other/Undecided 9 percent

"The race will be tighter than expected," Matt Towery, chief pollster of InsiderAdvantage told Newsmax.

Insider Advantage says it was the first to pick to swing to Newt in SC, and the first to pick the move back to Romney in FL.

Hey Insider Advantage & News Max, didn't you get the memo. Karl says NO.

1. Romney is screwed.

Although, I hope this goes as long as possible. In terms of sample size, 646 is small.

2. Romney is screwed,

period.

7. The margin of error is +/- 3.8%

It's a valid sample size but has an accordingly large MOE. So it's hard to conclude much.

3. Tea...

'Teabaggers give up their last vestige of coherence' should be another great tag line. Family values have been thrown out with the clean bath water, leaving the filthy sheets, the shrill shills, and the bitter pills as it were...

4. I find your lack of diplomacy disturbing.

5. Newt is beating Romney in the Latino vote THATS GOT TO BE WRONG!!!

[DCBob]

6. If Newt loses in only single digits he will claim a great victory...

and blame the media and pollsters for his loss. There is no way he is dropping out if that happens. This could go on a long long way. I think Romney will still win but Gingrich could be a thorn in his side all the way to the convention. Lovely!

8. I wonder how long Newt will be able to stand all the negative

attacks on him though. I want him to stay in til the bitter
end and bloody Mitt up....but the chorus against Newt
will only grow and grow. You would think, at some point,
despite his egomania, he would cave at the criticism.

Hey, just thought about all the Repukes criticizing anyone
who said Hillary should drop out, remember. Bet they
will be screaming from the rooftops for Newt to go.


P.S. Just rented an apt in Capital Hill for inauguration...totally
optimistic for Obama

9. When Mitt looses to Obama ... Newt will claim "I told you so!!!'

He'll claim that he was the only one of could have beaten Obama, and that he did "everything he could" to keep Mitt from being the nominee.

And some on the far right will eat that up, and Newt's speaking fees will increase, which is his main goal.

10. good. if that's the case, hope Newt makes zillions speaking nt

12. Romney is a crock.

All of the people, all of the time, is a bridge too far.
