Missouri Says "Not So Fast Romney"

On a day when hopeful Republican Presidential candidate Rick Santorum makes a stop in the Show-Me State, there is some polling news that indicates the road to the GOP nomination may not be smooth sailing for Governor Romney, at least in Missouri. While it appears that Florida is preparing to set the former Massachusetts governor as the Republican Presidential candidate frontrunner tomorrow, a poll currently being conducted by Public Policy Polling in Missouri says that the Show-Me State isn't jumping on that bandwagon.

While official polling results will not be out until tomorrow, the organization's Twitter account indicates that Romney is currently in 3rd place behind Gingrich and Santorum among likely GOP caucus goers in the state. It remains to be seen if sentiment will change in the coming weeks. In the meantime, however, this poll indicates discontentment among conservatives with Romney.

Recent polls in other states, such as Minnesota and Arizona, indicate a sharp divide within the Republican party over who the nominee should be as well.
