In the latest random telephone survey of Florida voters, taken Jan. 24–26, Romney opened up a 38–29 percent lead over Newt Gingrich.

The former House Speaker had seen a surge in an earlier poll this week, with a 40–34 percentage advantage over Romney from voters polled shortly after the South Carolina primary.

Friday's poll results represent a sampling of 580 registered Republicans in Florida, and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.1 percentage points.

Ron Paul had the next highest amount of support, with 14 percent, followed by Rick Santorum with 12 percent.

A rather high 6 percent of voters polled said they still did not know which candidate would get their vote in Tuesday's primary.
