TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- A new poll shows Mitt Romney opening a lead over Newt Gingrich among likely voters as they head toward Tuesday's Republican presidential preference primary in Florida.
Romney was favored by 38 percent compared to Gingrich's 29 percent in a survey of 580 likely voters conducted after Monday's debate in Tampa and before Thursday's debate in Jacksonville. Ron Paul received 14 percent and Rick Santorum 12 percent in the latest Quinnipiac University survey. The poll's margin of error was plus or minus 4.1 percentage points.
The new figures indicate that Gingrich has lost some of the momentum he'd picked up with a victory in South Carolina on Jan. 21. Romney was favored by 36 percent of likely Florida Republican voters to 34 percent for Gingrich going into the week's earlier debate.

Jason, you are free to vote for who ever your heart pleases. But last i saw, the rankings/support for Ron Paul were very low. Meaning he probably does not stand a chance of being the chosen one. This day in age, unfortunatly when it comes to politics, too often it comes down to choosing the lesser of the popular evils that make it onto the ballot. Good luck to everyone (the public), who ever ends up being voted into office this November.
i am voteing for ron paul
Lies, lies all lies. They say what they will do and then they take all of 4 years to do it. In the mean time they are doing what they didn't say they was going to do, like pull the rug out from under all our feet. Some of us probably will never be able to get back up.
