A new poll from Quinnipiac University shows former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum with a six point lead in his home state’s Republican presidential primary, set for April 24th. Santorum gets 41 percent, while former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney sees 35, Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) gets ten and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is at seven. From Quinnipiac:
With three weeks before the primary, 6 percent of likely voters remain undecided and 37 percent of those who name a candidate say they still could change their mind, the independent Quinnipiac University poll finds. This is the first look at likely voters and cannot be compared with earlier surveys of registered voters.
Santorum tops Romney 43 – 33 percent among men, while women split 39 – 38 percent. Santorum also leads 53 – 24 percent among white evangelical Christians, 50 – 32 percent among Tea Party members and 48 – 30 percent among self-described conservatives. Romney is ahead 45 – 29 percent among self-described moderates.
