Change from October 5 in parentheses:
8. Other 1% (-3)- It doesn't look like there's anyone left to jump into the race and the 1st primary is now about 3 months away so it would be very hard to get in at this point.
8. Rick Santorum 1% (-1)- Despite everyone imploding around him, Santorum has yet to see any increase in support. His only remaining possibility is to do moderately well in Iowa and hope others drop out so he can grab the right wing mantle.
