Santorum's surge reflected in California Poll
Gene Haagenson
FRESNO, California (KFSN) -- An exclusive Action News Poll of California voters, conducted by SurveyUSA shows Mitt Romney holds only a slight lead over Rick Santorum among Republicans.
Romney gets 33% to Santorum's 31%. The poll has a nearly five percent margin of error so it's essentially a dead heat. But in Central California it's not even close. Santorum trounces Romney 43% to 30%
Republican Activist and political consultant Tal Cloud believes the numbers show Romney isn't delivering a truly conservative message. "He's similar to Obama in a lot of positions and that's turning off Republican primary voters."
Fresno State Political Science Professor Tom Holyoke agrees the poll really shows Romney's weakness with conservatives. "I think Romney has some real problems on his hands and maybe after all the ups and downs of all the candidates trying to be the un Mitt Romney, conservatives may have finally found someone in Rick Santorum."
But is Santorum just the latest in a string of anti-Romney's who will quickly fall by the wayside? Cloud isn't so sure. "Rick Santorum has raised a tremendous amount of money in the last 72 hours and if that continues it could be a new ball game."

California has 169 winner take all electoral votes while other large states, Texas and New York, are proportional. Even a narrow victory in California might give Santorum the edge in June.

This next primary election could be decided by the people of Bakersfield, Fresno, Visalia, Modesto, Stockton, Delano, Merced, Tulare, Manteca, Madera, Porterville, Dinuba, Selma and Reedley - all the places where unemployment remains in the stratosphere.
