New poll has Santorum jumping to second place in Iowa!

First , here are the top-line results from our December 29, 2011 poll of 889 Iowa Republicans who confirmed they plan to participate in a caucus. The first column is the normal head-to-head results, while the second column shows who the poll participants think will ultimately prevail:

Candidate Personal Support Ultimate Winner
Bachmann 12% 8%
Gingrich 13% 13%
Huntsman 4% 2%
Paul 14% 11%
Perry 10% 8%
Romney 24% 39%
Santorum 17% 9%
Undecided 7% 8%

While many in the media seem to be focusing on the move up the food chain by former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum and the falling numbers for the last flavor-of-the-day Ron Paul, Romney seems finally to be breaking through as Iowa Republicans get closer to Caucus Day. Perhaps more important is the fact that 39 percent of all poll participants believe that Romney will ultimately be the flag carrier for the GOP in the fall.

I still hope Romney will lose and have egg on his face.
