Gingrich Almost Overnight Surges Past Romney in Florida (w/Update on Rasmussen Poll)

Newt Gingrich
The last several polls have showed Mitt Romney with a double-digit lead in Florida.  Those polls showed leads of 22, 24, 26 and 15. 

Yesterday, a day after the South Carolina, Insider Advantage did a poll of the Sunshine State.  The result showed Newt Gingrich with an eight point lead over Romney.

It appears the non-Romney's are coalescing behind the former Speaker. That spells trouble for Romney. If the former Massachusetts Governor can't win Florida, where he is supremely organized and has money to compete in the state's several media markets, then his nomination becomes doubtful.  The nomination could be over pretty quickly, but over with Gingrich as the nominee rather than Romney.

UPDATE:  Rasmussen also released a poll today confirming the Gingrich surge. That poll shows Gingrich with a nine point lead, a 31 point swing from a previous poll just 11 days ago showing Romney with a 22 point lead.
