Republican front-runner Mitt Romney is surging toward what looks to be an easy win in Nevada today, with a new poll showing him beating rival Newt Gingrich by a 2-to-1 margin in the state’s presidential nominating contest.
Romney is seeking his second consecutive victory in the Republican race after seizing momentum earlier in the week by crushing Gingrich in Florida.
A new Public Policy Polling survey showed Romney with support from 50 percent of likely voters in Nevada's caucuses. Gingrich was at 25 percent, Representative Ron Paul at 15 percent and former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum at 8 percent in the poll.
Its results were similar to a Las Vegas Review-Journal newspaper poll on Thursday that gave the former Massachusetts governor a 20-point lead in Nevada.
“Mitt Romney is headed for a big win in Nevada on Saturday,” said Dean Debnam, president of Public Policy Polling. “He's winning with virtually every demographic group we track.”
