Daily Kos Elections Polling Wrap: Pre-Super Tuesday polls ratcheting up expectations for Mitt Romney

As was predicted over the weekend, there is an absolute ton of polling data to sift through that has accumulated over the past 48 hours. Perhaps it stands to reason, of course, that virtually all of the deluge is made up from GOP presidential primary polling based in the states that make up tomorrow's "Super Tuesday" spate of elections.

Taken as a whole, they are extraordinarily good polls for Mitt Romney. After the jump, I will explore whether that is a good thing, or a bad thing. But, first, the numbers themselves, starting with an ample supply of Republican primary numbers.
