Romney Surges in Florida

With the polling data now reflecting Mitt Romney's solid debate performance on Monday night and Newt's disgraceful attacks (saying Mitt is anti-immigrant, doesn't see humanity in illegal aliens, etc) Romney has surged in a slew of polls released today on the state of race in Florida.

Insider Advantage poll of 530 likely Republican voters:

Mitt Romney - 40%
Newt Gingrich - 32%
Ron Paul - 9%
Rick Santorum - 8%
Undecided - 11%

CNN poll of 369 likely Republican voters:

Mitt Romney - 36%
Newt Gingrich - 34%
Rick Santorum - 11%
Ron Paul - 9%
Undecided - 7%.

Tonight's CNN debate could very well be the game-changer, but I hope the Florida electorate pays close attention to what the candidates say and not how the audience responds, because I believe somewhere in the back of viewer's minds Monday, they realized how dependent on platitudes Mr. Gingrich is, and how Romney doesn't need a crowd to be strong.

What say you?
