Polls

Following victories in the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary, Mitt Romney pulled away from the rest of GOP presidential field in a CNN-ORC national poll released on Friday.

Mitt Romney holds a small lead over Newt Gingrich in South Carolina, but Ron Paul is rising after his strong second-place finish in New Hampshire, according to a Public Policy Poll released Friday.

Democrats have taken the lead in a generic congressional ballot for the first time since being washed out of office by Republicans in the 2010 election, according to a Democracy Corps survey released Friday.

Romney retains his lead, but Ron Paul and Rick Perry have posted impressive gains over the past week.

“I have never quit a day in my life,” Perry says. “I am going to stay in this race.”

Romney is pulling away from the pack and has reached his highest level of support nationally, a new poll finds.

Mitt Romney leads his closest GOP presidential rival by 22 percent in Florida, according to a survey released Thursday by conservative polling outlet Rasmussen.

A new poll shows Romney at 23 percent, narrowly edging Gingrich’s 21 percent in the Palmetto State.

Polls show Mitt Romney leading the GOP field by 19 points as voters cast their ballots.

Mitt Romney is the only candidate a majority of both conservative and centrist Republican voters see as "acceptable," welcome news for the Republican front-runner headed into Tuesday's pivotal New Hampshire primary.

Romney was deemed acceptable by nearly six in 10 of both conservative and "moderate/liberal" Republicans, according to a new poll released by Gallup, the only candidate to poll that high in either group. Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum both cleared the 50 percent threshold among conservative voters, but only garnered 36 percent and 35 percent of centrist Republicans, respectively.

Ron Paul earned a similar number among centrists, but only 25 percent of conservative Republicans thought of the Texas congressman as acceptable — lower than any candidate aside from Jon Huntsman. Huntsman, perhaps surprisingly, considering his direct appeals to centrist voters, also polled lowest among more liberal Republicans, with only a quarter finding him acceptable.
