TPM's average of Mitt Romney's favorability ratings tells the tale of the last month: Romney's gone from a 40-40% split on January 11 to a now brutal 32% approval and 56% against just 5 weeks later. Now granted, 9 months is an eternity in this race, but Mitt is in serious danger here of Santorum reaching some sort of tipping point where a brokered convention is forced.
But even the August GOP Tampa convention is some five months away. There's just so much insanity that can happen between now and then. Granted, Mitt is certainly going in the wrong direction right now, and the polls show him down in his quasi-home state of Michigan to Santorum in the primary at the end of the month and to President Obama in the general.
And just a week after that is Super Tuesday, with the big prize, Ohio. A lot could be decided by this time next month.
Most likely, nothing will be decided at all.
