Presidential Poll: Rick Santorum Pulls Off Surprise Sweep, But Who's Your Pick?

Bolingbrook Patch will poll readers on a weekly basis to gauge their interest in the election, its candidates and what issues are most important to them.

We’re racing headlong toward the March 20 primary election here in Illinois, which means the action is heating up.

On Tuesday, Jan. 7, we had two caucuses—Colorado and Minnesota—with a combined 76 delegates up for grabs. We also had the Missouri primary election, although that won’t decide who gets that state’s 52 Republican delegates. Missouri Republicans will hold a caucus on March 17 to award those.

In a surprise sweep, Rick Santorum won all three contests. With decisive victories in Florida and Nevada over the past week, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney is the front-runner, but Santorum's wins on Tuesday may change the game.
