The Gallup tracking poll of the national Republican race out Wednesday shows former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney has regained the lead nationally. Romney had ceded the edge to former House Speaker Newt Gingrich in the days after Newt’s South Carolina primary win, but following Romney’s impressive Florida performance, he has gained four points in Gallup’s poll and ends with 31 percent of total support. Gingrich lost two and fell to 26. Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum gets 16 percent and Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) sees 11.
The new numbers also gives Romney the lead in our TPM Poll Average. Check out the struggle over the last two months.
