The Real Clear Politics average of recent polling now shows Rick Santorum having taken the lead in the Republican presidential race. Santorum’s average level of support across recent polling is 30.8 percent, compared to Mitt Romney’s 29.2 percent. Newt Gingrich is in third place, with 16.2 percent support, while Ron Paul is last with 12.7 percent support.

Santorum and Romney have each won four of the nine GOP primaries or caucuses to date, although Romney’s latest win — in Maine, by just 194 votes — now appears to be somewhat in doubt.
