Romney gains nationally

Posted: Updated:

Mitt Romney has regained the lead over the GOP field nationally and is poised for a victory in the key Super Tuesday battleground of Ohio, according to new polls.

According to a Wall Street Journal-NBC News poll released on Monday, Romney again tops the GOP field, taking 38 percent support of likely GOP primary voters, followed by Rick Santorum at 32 percent, Newt Gingrich at 13 percent, and Ron Paul 13 percent.

It's the first time Romney has led the WSJ-NBC poll since November, and there are signs that two of the groups he's been unable to rally, Tea Party supporters and those that identify as "very conservative," are beginning to coalesce around his candidacy.

Romney's support with Tea Party supporters is at 35 percent, up from 21 percent in January, and his support among those that identify as "very conservative" has nearly doubled in the same time frame to 32 percent.
