President 2012 GOP Ohio Poll Watch: Perry 42% Vs. Romney 38%

According to the latest Quinnipiac University Poll.

Among the several candidates hoping to succeed the president, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney leads the pack in Ohio, attracting 24 percent of the support. Texas Gov. Rick Perry is close behind with 20 percent and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who still hasn’t announced her presidential intentions, rounds out the top three with 9 percent. Businessman Herman Cain garners 7 percent and Texas Rep. Ron Paul receives 6 percent. None of the remaining candidates polls above 4 percent. When the two Republican front-runners are paired against each other in a head-to-head matchup, 42 percent back Perry while 38 percent back Romney.

All of the rest of the candidates are supperfluous at this point. If Chris Christie or Sarah Palin were to run then there might be a change. But, for now it is a race between Perry and Romney.

For now, in Ohio, the two candidates are virtually tied.
