Romney has gained some great endorsements of late, including the ultimate GOP endorsement in NH, and some previous Brownback supporters in Michigan.

Also, here are the results of some recent polls:

University of Iowa Poll for Iowa:
36%--Romney (+9 from Aug. 5)
13%--Guiliani (+2)
13%--Huckabee (+10)
11%--Thompson (+8)
6%--McCain (+3)

ARG Poll for Iowa:

ARG Poll for New Hampshire:
30%--Romney (+6 from Sept. poll)
23%--Guiliani (+3)

These polls show a trend when compared to other polls as well. While some polls don't have Romney leading in South Carolina, he's usually in a close second. This is becoming a two-man race between Romney and Rudy.
