Oh my! Gingrich up by nine over Romney for Florida Republican primary according to Rasmussen

newt-gingrich-rinoWhat an epic meltdown by Mittens. Two weeks ago in the Rasmussen GOP Florida Primary poll, Romney lead an imploding Newt Gingrich by a whopping 22 percentage points. Fast forward to today, and now Gingrich leads Romney by 9 points at 42% to 33%. That’s a 31 point swing in just two weeks! However, the same poll finds early voters are in favor or Romney by 11 points, and those yet to vote favor Gingrich by 12 points.

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Florida Republican Primary Voters, taken Sunday evening, finds Gingrich earning 41% of the vote with Romney in second at 32%. Former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum runs third with 11%, while Texas Congressman Ron Paul attracts support from eight percent (8%). Nine percent (9%) remain undecided.(To see survey question wording, click here).

Florida allows early voting, and Romney leads among those voters by 11 points. Gingrich leads by 12 among those who have not yet voted. Fourteen percent (14%) have already cast their vote..
