Public Policy Polling on the 'Santorum Surge'

PPP writes:
Talking about a 'Santorum surge' seems to be all the rage this week but he's polling at only 3% in New Hampshire, tying him with Rick Perry and even Buddy Roemer for 6th place. His favorability is slightly under water at 39/40. It's important to remember that even the momentum from winning Iowa in 2008 was only enough to push Mike Huckabee to 11% in New Hampshire so it seems doubtful that a 2nd or 3rd place finish in the state would get Santorum into contention in the Granite State.

  1. It's actually much simpler. The only reason for the "talk" is because it makes for good headlines.

  2. Agreed. People in Santorum's home state can't stand him.
