New Polls Support Old Conventional Wisdom: It's a Two Man Race
Romney actually doing himself some good in the debates, which I must assume is mostly from the first debate, because last night he was weak.
What the Gallup Organization calls the "positive intensity score" shows Perry holding strong at 24. However, for the first time since Perry surged to the front of the GOP field, Romney's score has increased significantly.
In a new rating just released, Gallup shows that with a month to compare the two men, Romney's score has surged from 11 just two weeks ago to 16 now.
At the same time, the scores for two GOP women have faded. With Perry in the race, Michele Bachmann's score has dropped from 13 to 10. And the train appears to be leaving the station for Sarah Palin's hypothetical candidacy; her score plunged from 16 to 10. The scores for both women are new lows for 2011.
A woman just cried hysterically to me that these new polling scores gave her pet chinchilla a learning disability.
