As Rick Santorum Heads Into Ohio, Poll Shows Him Maintaining Edge

However, Quinnipiac Poll shows a sizable number might still change their minds.

When former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum appears at the Lake County Republican Party's Lincoln Day Dinner on Friday, March 2, he will be doing so leading the Ohio GOP presidential field with 36 percent of likely Republican primary voters, says a new Quinnipiac University poll.

The poll says Santorum is enjoying strong support from men and conservatives.
