TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) - A new poll that shows Rick Santorum edging
ahead of Mitt Romney in Ohio's Republican presidential primary also
indicates just how volatile the race is with three weeks to go
before Super Tuesday.
That's because half of the likely Republican voters said they
might change their mind before the Ohio primary.
Santorum, coming off a sweep in Colorado, Minnesota and Missouri
last week, trailed far behind Romney in Ohio just a month ago, but
he has pulled ahead, according to a the Quinnipiac University poll
released Wednesday
Santorum had an apparent lead over the former Massachusetts
governor, 36 percent to 29 percent among likely primary voters.
Former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich was third with 20 percent.
The results in Ohio come on top of polls showing Santorum has
moved into a virtual tie with Romney in nationwide polling.
Ohio is one of 10 states up for grabs on March 6.
Santorum will be at two county party dinners this Friday in
southwest Ohio. He's also scheduled to speak Saturday at an Ohio
Christian Alliance luncheon in Columbus and later to Summit County
Republicans in Akron.
Romney has upcoming events near Cleveland and in Cincinnati
while Gingrich campaigned through Ohio last week.
The Quinnipiac poll found that Santorum had the strongest
support among conservative Republicans and tea party backers, while
Romney was most popular among moderates and the wealthy.
The telephone survey interviewed 553 likely Republican voters
from Feb. 7-12 and has a margin of error of 4 percentage points.
