A new poll shows Rick Santorum edging ahead of Mitt Romney as the choice of Ohio Republicans.
The Quinnipiac University poll finds Santorum jumping to the lead with likely voters in Ohio just three weeks before the Republican presidential primary.
The former Pennsylvania senator leads Romney 36-29 percent among likely primary voters. Former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich is third with 20 percent.
A Quinnipiac poll released last month had the former Massachusetts governor Romney well ahead of Santorum. But that was before Santorum's sweep in Colorado, Minnesota and Missouri last week.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich runs third with 20 percent, while Texas U.S. Rep. Ron Paul gets 9 percent.
The latest telephone survey interviewed 553 likely Republican voters over the past week and has a margin of error of 4 percentage points.
