Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney

The Donald Effect.

Thursday afternoon Donald Trump endorsed Mitt Romney for president.  By Friday afternoon the Former Massachusetts Governor was already seeing a bump in the polls.  Romney now leads Newt Gingrich by 25 points in Nevada, 50% to 25%.

Mitt Romney is headed for a dominant victory in Nevada on Saturday.  PPP finds him polling at 50% to 25% for Newt Gingrich, 15% for Ron Paul, and 8% for Rick Santorum.

Certainly in Nevada the Mormon vote will get a lot of attention and Romney leads Paul 78-14 with that group, which we project to account for 20% of the vote.  But Romney’s dominance in Nevada goes well beyond that. He’s winning voters describing as ‘very conservative,’ a group he’s had huge amount of trouble with in other states, by a 43-34 margin over Gingrich.  He’s also winning men, women, Hispanics, whites, and every age group that we track. This will be a pretty thorough victory for him.

PPP Nevada Republican Presidential Poll:

  1. Mott Romney — 50%
  2. Newt Gingrich — 25%
  3. Rick Santorum — 15%
  4. Ron Paul — 8%

Despite internal polling that places him in second with 24% of the vote, this the second poll in a row that shows Ron Paul in distant last place, shy of the double digit mark.  Media Conspiracy?  Or just accurate polling?  You be the judge.

Much like in Iowa, Newt’s negatives are holding him back in Nevada.  Gingrich’s unavailability has reached 49% in the Silver State.  His chances of pulling off a big upset on Saturday are slim at best.

Nevada poll respondents say Rick Santorum is a likeable guy, but just like in Florida, that likeability is not translating into presidential support.  Will we hear more calls from Newt Gingrich for Santorum to drop out of the race?  Again, like in Florida, the two combined do not muster up enough support to top Romney.

All in all, Mitt Romney is running away with Nevada.

    PRO-ABORTION MORMON

    Mitt Romney is Pro-abortion as Governor of MA! watch TV. A liar like Mitt Romney will tell you what he thinks you want to hear to gain your vote or some advantage. For Example when Mitt Romney ran as Pro-abortion to be MA Governor but now claims now to be Pro-Life. Now Mitt Romney is trying to passing himself as the job creator. Mitt Romney was never been in business to create jobs.Mitt Romney was in business to make money and any human cost incurred is inconsequential. Mitt Romney was emptied whole companies into his pockets and sending their jobs to China and Mexico. Mitt Romney was also was raided worker’s retirement funds like a Bernie Made-off robbing women.and men of their Golden Years. Mitt Romney is receiving the working women and men sweat and.blood at a rate of over $51,000 DOLLARS a DAY! Mitt Romney is to jobs and the economy as a.Undertaker is to maternity care and health care. Remember the business venture also was three.separate human parameters is it moral, ethical, or legal. Anything goes to make a dollar is NOT.Capitalism. For example the drug dealer makes money by buying low and selling high. However the drug dealer is immoral and illegal. Mitt Romney exploits the working women and man is immoral and.unethical.

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. - Ephesians 6: 12-13
