President 2012 GOP Poll Watch: Santorum Takes the Lead in Gallup Tracking Poll



According to the latest Gallup Presidential tracking poll.

Note, that Mitt Romny has pulled even with President Obama in the general election poll.

This polling is within the margin of error, but as the Weekly Standard points out, Rick Santorum has come up a long way.

Rick Santorum, who trailed Mitt Romney by 20 points eight days ago, has now taken the lead in Gallup’s national polling.  In the Gallup poll released on February 8, Romney led Santorum by the tally of 37 to 17 percent. In the current Gallup poll, Santorum has moved into the lead — 32 to 31 percent.

While I do not think Rick Santorum is electable in a general election against President Obama, this result pretty much shows the GOP voters disgust with Mitt Romney.

Super Tuesday will tell the story and my bet now is that the nominee choice will come down to the convention in Florida this summer.
