WI Poll: Romney leads Ricky by 8--Obama leads Romney by 5

[WI_DEM]

The GOP race for president has flipped in Wisconsin since last month, with Mitt Romney overtaking Rick Santorum in the latest poll by Marquette Law School.

Romney leads Santorum 39% to 31% in a survey of GOP primary voters taken last Thursday through Sunday.

Ron Paul is running third in the poll with 11%, followed by Newt Gingrich with 5%.

The new numbers represent a major shift from Marquette’s February poll, which showed Santorum leading Romney in the state 34% to 18%, followed by Paul at 17% and Gingrich at 12%.

They are also roughly consistent with a poll done almost one week ago on March 21 by Rasmussen Reports, which showed Romney leading Santorum 46% to 33%.

When Marquette polled all voters, not just GOP primary voters, it found President Barack Obama leading Romney 48% to 43% in a fall match-up, and leading Santorum 51% to 39%.

1. That's a much closer GE race then most recent polls of WI.

it's also a closer Primary than the recent Ras poll.
