Patterns in the Republican polls

Nate Silver at FiveThirtyEight has produced an interesting series of charts showing the performance of the various Republican candidates on state and national polls since September 25^th.  Here are two of Silver’s charts.  They tell much about the rise and fall of Cain and Gingrich.  Take a look then click on the link to see the charts for the other candidates.  Very helpful.
