National GOP Gallup Poll: Gingrich 32% Romney 24%

While it appears that Newt Gingrich’s momentum has stalled in Florida (where Mitt Romney is now the favorite to win) Gingrich’s momentum among Republicans nationally does not appear to be slowing down.

Gingrich expanded his lead in the national GOP Gallup tracking poll an additional 2 points today:

Newt Gingrich 32% (+1)
Mitt Romney 24% (-1)
Ron Paul 14% (+1)
Rick Santorum 13% (-)

That said; Republican voters during this primary season have been remarkably fickle and it seems likely that if Romney wins Florida on Tuesday that Gingrich’s national lead will melt away quite quickly.

It’s also probable that Gingrich’s large lead in Minnesota (which holds a GOP caucus on February 7th) would be in jeopardy if Romney wins Florida.

What we’ve seen in this race so far shows that polling leads can come and go very quickly as GOP voters are justifiably not really happy with any of their choices.
