NBC/Marist poll: Romney up 15 over Gingrich in Florida

[DCBob]

Mitt Romney may be on his way to a decisive victory in the Florida GOP primary Tuesday, according to a new NBC/Marist poll.

Romney leads Newt Gingrich by 15 points, 42 percent to 27 percent in the crucial state. Rick Santorum is third with 16 percent, followed by Ron Paul with 11 percent. Just 4 percent said they were undecided.

"The bottom line in all this is Romney's sitting in the driver's seat going into Tuesday," said Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion at Marist College, who conducted the poll.

If Romney pulls off a victory of that magnitude, he could be on a glide path to the nomination. But there are warning signs for the Republican Party that the primary has taken a toll on Romney and the rest of the GOP field. Each of the candidates struggles in a general-election matchup with President Barack Obama in this swing state, especially with independents.

3. However some good news in the head-to-head matchups in Florida

If the 2012 presidential election were held today, whom would you support if the candidates are:

Barack Obama: 49
Mitt Romney: 41
Undecided: 10

Barack Obama: 52
Newt Gingrich: 35
Undecided: 13

If the President wins Florida, its over. There are few to no paths to victory for the Rethugs without FL.

15. Yeah, I saw that. Great news because all the attention is on Mitt Romney. Shouldn't he therefore

be polling better than that?

He still has a likability problem.
