Romney's lead dips despite wins: poll

By Patricia Zengerle

(Reuters) - Despite his strong showing in early state contests in the race for the Republican U.S. presidential nomination, Mitt Romney's support nationwide has dipped slightly during the past month, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Tuesday.

Romney was backed by 29 percent of Republican voters in the telephone poll conducted February 2-6, down from 30 percent in a survey in early January, although the change was within the poll's margin of error.

The results suggest Romney - despite his vast advantages in organization, fundraising and momentum after victories in New Hampshire, Florida and Nevada - still has many doubters among Republicans nationwide.

"He still hasn't really convinced all the Republicans across the country that he's the guy to get behind," said Chris Jackson, research director for Ipsos public affairs.

Rove Plays Down Romney's Chances On Fox

Karl Rove appeared on Fox News' O'Reilly Factor, and was at pains to play down Mitt Romney's chances tonight, even as the FNC host Bill O'Reilly talked them up.

"Seems to me this is just not a race any more. Am I wrong?" asked the host.

"Missouri is a beaty contest," Rove replied, noting no delegates would be awarded from it. "Rick (Santorum) is going to have a little bump."

O'Reilly expressed surprise and began to say, "yeah, but if he really beats Romney in something tonight..."

"This is far more complicated than it looks," Rove continued. "We will know within the next two or three weeks," he said, but finished that he didn't want to make any "prognostications" because he wanted to let the voters decide.

1. Conservatives want America to fail

They have said they want Obama to fail, and wanting Obama to fail is wanting America to fail.
