Yesterday, I wrote about Mitt Romney’s Ames effect wearing off in Iowa. I am pretty sure that I missed the story. Gallup Poll’s Frank Newport had the first hint:

Real Clear Politics polling suggests that Mitt Romney has not been able to maintain his bump from the Ames Straw Poll. Is Romney peaking? Did people take a second look at him after Ames and …. pass?
