    Romney Leads GOP Pack in South Dakota, with Santorum Second Mitt Romney leads the field of Republican presidential candidates in the Nielson Brothers Polling (NBP) February South Dakota survey. Romney receives 33 percent support from registered Republicans, followed by Rick Santorum with 24 percent. Ron Paul -- who led in the December NBP poll -- and Newt Gingrich tie for third with 9 percent each. A substantial number (26 percent) of Republican voters remain undecided. NBP also asked South Dakota voters to choose in a head-to-head race between President Barack Obama and the two leading national Republican candidates. Mitt Romney leads Obama 44 to 35 percent among registered voters, with 21 percent saying neither or undecided. Though Obama trails, he makes up ground from the December NBP survey that had him down against Romney 48 to 29 percent. Rick Santorum leads President Obama, 45 to 33 percent, with 22 percent saying neither or undecided. In 2008, President Obama received 44.7 percent of the vote in South Dakota against Republican candidate John McCains 53.2 percent. Mitt Romney now leads the field of Republican presidential candidates after finishing fifth in our December South Dakota poll, notes Paul Nielson, president of NBP. Support for Ron Paul and Newt Gingrich has fallen off dramatically. Nielson adds that, while President Obama again trails Romney among voters, he makes up ground in this survey. NBP surveyed a random selection of South Dakota registered voters February 15 - 17, 2012. The question on voting for a Republican presidential candidate drew 302 responses from registered Republicans, with a margin of error of 5.64 percent. The question on the head-tohead race between Obama and Romney drew 559 responses for a 4.15 margin of error. All of the above questions have a 95% confidence level. Nielson Brothers Polling will release other survey findings including South Dakota voters opinions on the states direction and the national economy. NBP plans to continue its research and publication of local opinions as a civic resource. Interested parties may contact NBP with regard to questions and answers on past and future surveys.
