Poll Watch: Rasmussen (R) Illinois 2012 Republican Primary Survey

Rasmussen (R) Illinois 2012 GOP Primary Poll
  • Mitt Romney 41%
  • Rick Santorum 32%
  • Newt Gingrich 14%
  • Ron Paul 7%
If the 2012 Republican Primary for president were held today and you only had a choice between Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum, for whom would you vote?
  • Mitt Romney 48%
  • Rick Santorum 44%
Survey of 750 likely voters was conducted March 15, 2012. The margin of error is +/- 4.5 percentage points.
Inside the numbers:
Given that 32% of voters could still change their mind before Tuesday, this represents a potential opportunity for Santorum. Most Gingrich supporters (55%) say they could still change their mind, and they overwhelmingly prefer Santorum over Romney in a two-man race.

Fifty percent (50%) of Illinois primary voters see Romney as the strongest general election candidate, while 24% say the same of Santorum.

Seventy-eight percent (78%) believe Romney is at least somewhat likely to defeat President Obama and 54% say the same of Santorum. Most (53%) think Gingrich is unlikely to win in November and 79% believe it is unlikely Paul could defeat the president.

Sixty-eight percent (68%) have a favorable opinion of Romney and 67% offer positive reviews for Santorum. The favorable numbers for Gingrich and Paul are 53% and 36%, respectively.

As a Reagan Democrat, I’ll vote for Newt Gingrich, the architect of the "Contract
with America", leader of the Republican Congressional victories in 1994. In 1995,
Time named him "Man of the Year". As House Speaker, Gingrich enacted welfare
reform, passed four balanced budgets, and created millions of jobs.” Gingrich
honored his contract with America, others make Utopian promises.
