NEW POLL: Gingrich surges in Florida

Insider Advantage’s first poll after the South Carolina primary shows Gingrich getting a huge surge in Florida.  According to this poll, Gingrich now leads Romney in Florida by 8 points (34% to 26%).  A CNN/Time/ORC poll released Wednesday of last week had Romney leading Gingrich by 25 points (43% to 18%).  In that poll Gingrich was in third place, slightly behind Santorum.  We will see if other Florida polls confirm this surge for Gingrich but I  should note that Insider Advantage was the first poll to spot the Gingrich surge in South Carolina.

Additionally, FiveThirtyEight now projects that Gingrich will win Florida with 37.6% of the vote to 30% for Romney.
