A new USA Today/Gallup finds Texas Gov. Rick Perry and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney leading the Republican field, as the crowded field narrows to focus on the two front-runners.
Perry commands 31 percent of the support of GOP voters while Romney gets 24 percent — up from polling in the teens earlier this month. In two-man race, 49 percent say they would vote for Perry, while Romney trails with 39 percent.
Rep. Ron Paul places third, at 13 percent, with Rep. Michele Bachmann now an afterthought at 5 percent.
