Romney Leads Among Florida . . . Conservatives, Evangelical Christians?

This morning, Quinnipiac suggests the Romney momentum in Florida continues:

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney has a 43 – 29 percent lead over former House Speaker Newt Gingrich among Republican likely voters in Florida, the nation’s first big-state presidential primary, according to Quinnipiac University poll released today. Only 7 percent are undecided, but 24 percent say they might change their mind by tomorrow’s election

This compares to a 38 – 29 percent Romney lead in a January 27 survey by the independent Quinnipiac University.

In today’s survey, self-described conservatives go to Romney 40 – 31 percent. He gets 38 percent of white evangelical Christians to Gingrich’s 33 percent and wins 40 percent of Tea Party members to Gingrich’s 35 percent.

Quinnipiac did not ask how many respondents had already voted, early through early voting or through absentee ballots.

When PPP polled, they said 34% of their responses came from people who had already voted, and Romney held a 12-point lead with those voters.
