President Santorum?
Gallup’s latest tracking poll puts Rick Santorum 10 points above Mitt Romney.
Via Gallup:
In the Feb. 15-19 Gallup Daily tracking rolling average, Santorum is ahead of Romney by 36% to 26%, with Newt Gingrich at 13% and Ron Paul at 11%. This marks Santorum’s largest lead to date. Santorum had moved to within two points of Romney, 30% to 32%, by the end of last week.
Prior to Santorum’s surge, Romney led Santorum 37% to 16% in Gallup Daily tracking ending Feb. 6, the day before Santorum won primaries and caucuses in Minnesota, Missouri, and Colorado. Meanwhile, Gingrich’s current 13% support ties his lowest since Gallup began tracking Dec. 1; Gingrich held a one-point lead over Romney as recently as the end of last month.
