The poll was (obviously) done before Herman Cain announced he was suspending his campaign, but he was clearly on the downside already.
Where do those voters go? Newt. Every poll says that. The only question is how many. My guess is the number is enough to effectively put Newt at 30%.
18% of all voters said Newt was their second choice, suggesting that as other campaigns fall off he can pick up even more ground.
We still need to keep pushing, but currently Newt is the clear frontrunner nationally, in Iowa, in South Carolina, and in Florida. He's running a close second in New Hampshire.
The trick now is to make sure our voters get to the polls and caucus sites.
Many have noted that this was about the time that Mike Huckabee shot ahead of Mitt Romney in Iowa four years ago.
