Both the latest Public Policy Polling and Pew Research polls contain some very interesting data to pore over. First, both polls show Santorum now ahead of Romney. PPP has him up BIG in Michigan's primary at the end of the month, 39-24%, while Pew has a much narrower 30-28% lead for Frothmaster General nationally. Either one is very, very bad news for Mittens.
PPP's poll concentrates on the upcoming Michigan primary, which is open. Among Democrats and Independents polled, Santorum is doing very well (which makes me think more than a few Michigan Dems want to stick it to Mitt "Let Detroit Die" Romney and prolong the pain, if you're a Michigan Dem, make sure you ruin Mittens' day, will you?)
Nationally, Santorum's lead in the polls is majorly helped by Christian evangelicals and Tea Party voters, both of whom are for Santorum nationally at 40%+ and rising. The conservatives are beginning to lock on to Ricky here, and that can't be good for Mitt at all.
If Mitt can't close the gap in Michigan especially, where his own father was governor, then Super Tuesday may just be the event that breaks this open into a brokered convention.
And I can't wait. Chaos reigns supreme.
