Rasmussen: Romney Holds Lead Against Santorum in Maryland

Republican front-runner Mitt Romney is well ahead of his chief rival Rick Santorum in Maryland with that state’s primary less than a week away.

A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Republican Primary Voters in Maryland shows Romney with 45 percent support to Santorum’s 28 percent. Twelve percent favor former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, while Texas Congressman Ron Paul earns seven percent of the vote. Two percent like another candidate in the race, and six percent are undecided.

This Maryland survey of 750 Likely Republican Primary Voters was conducted on March 28, 2012 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is plus or minus four percentage points with a 95 percent level of confidence.
