New St. Norbert College/Wisconsin Public Radio Poll Keeps Romney on Top
The Republican presidential primary election is Tuesday, and a poll out today has Mitt Romney ahead of Rick Santorum by five points.
Another poll indicates that if Wisconsin voters cast ballots today, Mitt Romney would come out the winner in the Republican presidential primary.
Using a sample of 403 likely voters, the St. Norbert-Wisconsin Public Radio survey shakes out like this:
- Mitt Romney: 37%
- Rick Santorum: 32%
- Ron Paul: 8%
- Newt Gingrich: 4%
- Other: 5%
- Undecided: 11%
- Refuse to answer: 2%
Voters were interviewed between March 24 to March 28 and the poll has a +/- 5 percent margin of error.
The St. Norbert-Wisconsin Public Radio poll also asked respondents their top reason(s) for supporting their candidate.
- Romney - Experience
- Santorum - Conservative
- Paul - Best ideas for controlling spending and financial policy
- Gingrich - Good ideas
Not surprisingly, voters who participated in the survey named jobs and the economy their number one concern. Healthcare and the budget, including the deficit, taxes and spending, round out the top three.
While Santorum led Romney by double digits late last month, March surveys by Marquette University, Rasmussen Reports and Public Policy Polling all have Romney atop the leaderboard, though his lead has gone from about 13 percent to seven percent and now sits at about five percent.
The newest figures from Public Policy Polling are expected Friday or Saturday.

How exactly did the poll 'keep' Romney on top? A poll just tells us what position he is in, it doesn't put (or keep) anyone in a particular position...

So, under the margin of error, it's a dead heat between Romney and Santorum.
If stubborn Gingrich would just get out of the way already, Romney and Santorum could make it a true horse race for the direction of the party. All Gingrich is accomplishing at this point is diluting the party and preventing it from realizing a solid ideological direction heading into the convention.
What we don't need is another Bush or McCain, and Hoffa's fearful that's exactly what Romney represents. But I'd openly welcome another Palin, and Santorum kinda reminds me of her.
While Hoffa really likes Ron Paul, I just don't see it realistically happening. Santorum is the next best choice at this point, and the right direction for the party to take against Obama.

BTW - PPP (Public Policy Polling) = Daily Kos, for those that didn't know this.

I for one would love to see Santorum against Obama.

If we go to a contested convention we lose and Obama is still President. Santorum has almost no shot of getting to 1144. That is why Rubio and Ryan back Romney. They know this is a simple math issue, Santorum can pass Romney if everything goes his way but will still not get 1144. Therefore it is Romney or Obama at this point. http://www.dickmorris.com/how-the-race-stacks-up-from-here/
