The above results are based on the PPP, Rasmussen, Insider Advantage polls taken this week in addition to the We Ask America poll which is automated and was surveyed Tuesday. The University of Iowa Poll in today’s RCP Average of Polls is not kosher since it was taken over a ten-day period starting on December 8th, which is two weeks ago.
If we exclude the automated poll, the race has Paul with 22.3% support (compared to 18.6% support in the same three polls this time last week); Romney at 21% (18.6% last week); Gingrich down to 14.6% support (from 23% last week); Perry at 12% (up from 10.6% last week); Bachmann at 8.6% (down from last week’s 10%); Santorum 7.6% (similar to last week’s 75).
