Santorum, after trailing Mitt Romney by merely 8 votes in the Tuesday Iowa caucus vote, is now in second place among Republican voters in the race for the party’s 2012 presidential nomination, according to a new Rasmussen poll.
“The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey, taken the night after the caucuses, shows Romney again in first place with support from 29% of Likely Republican Primary Voters, followed by Santorum with 21%,” Rasmussen noted today. “Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who led the pack in late November with 38% of the vote, now runs third with 16%.”
