Poll: Santorum leads Romney nationwide by eight points

Posted at 4:27 pm by: CNN's Ashley Killough

(CNN) — The latest results from Gallup’s daily tracking poll indicate Rick Santorum has overtaken Mitt Romney nationwide and now leads the former Massachusetts governor by an eight-point margin.

According to the poll released Sunday, 36% of registered Republicans said they are backing Santorum, while 28% prefer Romney.

The new numbers represent a five-point drop for Romney since Wednesday, when the candidate was statistically tied with his opponent, 33% to 31%. Meanwhile, Santorum has jumped five points in the same time period.

Romney’s campaign, as well as a super PAC supporting his candidacy, have since taken a visible turn in strategy, attacking the surging candidate through surrogates, interviews and ads.

Romney is done.   He is useless.

if he's this weak against a doorstop like santorum... how will he fare against obama and a billion dollars in money?

mccain said it right today - super PAcs have trashed the process.  Romney would have won SC without a millionaire throwing 20 mil at newt to save that state. 

these candidates are destroying one another.  winner is going to be too wrecked to beat obama.  we're looking at santorum against obama - in a world where 94% of the time, the candidate with more moneey wins taht election.

 .  Myth is not only boring, but he speaks in tired cliches, is dishonest, and has almost identicle positions as ghettopofsbama.   

I am no saint rick fan, but at least he will take it somewhat to obama even if he is phoney.

Romney can not beat Obama since romney is Obama-heavy.   

[LurkerNoMore]

No he can't.  I didn't say he WOULD beat Obama.  Out of all the candidates, he had the best chance.

Yeah.. Santorum is going to really pull in the women, hispanic and moderate voters.   Hahaha.
