Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsCBS national poll on repub presidential candidates: Romney, Gingrich, Santorum within 5 points.
Mitt is staying in the 15-20% range he has not been able to break out of. Newt is still a strong second which surprised me. Rick is now in third place within 5 points of Romney nationwide.
An interesting snapshot of the race but the big Romney campaign and super PAC money has yet to be hurled at the others. The republican 1% obviously are behind Mitt and are happy that the plethora of other candidates are splitting up the anti-Romney vote. He's polling about 15-20% that he did in 2008, but it looks better this time around since his opposition is fractured and it puts him in first place.

(37,540 posts)4. Most stable voting block in the survey!
4 months after listening and watching this cast of losers, 1/3 of the voters are still firmly committed to "Don't know/Someone else". If we're lucky, "Don't know/Someone else" will remain solid, and we'll have 4 candidates equally splitting 15.5% of the delegates going into the convention.

totals 32%, much greater than any one of the top three, it is positively delicious.
Someone Else alone ties with the #1 candidate and beats the other two.
