Mitt up by around 10 points on the first round of calls for our Florida poll…this one may end up being a snooze

Santorum has the best favorability numbers out of all the candidates in Florida but still not picking up much support

Bc he’s so well liked everywhere I think Santorum would actually be biggest long term threat to Mitt, but Newt would have to get out soon

But Santorum leads on “favourability”

The leading US telephone pollster that uses live interviewers, Public Policy Polling, regularly sends our snippets on how its fieldwork is going, well before the poll is closed and the numbers are released. Above is the latest on its Florida survey which will continue until Monday.

A interesting element is the high favourability numbers coming for Santorum though in this latest state race things don’t look good.

Romney is a very tight tight odds-on favourite to win Florida – currently 1/11 with Betfair.
