Mitt Romney's overall favorable ratings have dropped, while Rick Santorum's standing has jumped among Republicans, according to a new national survey.

A CNN/ORC International poll released Tuesday indicates Romney's popularity has especially taken a tumble among Republicans, with a 13-point decline in positive reviews from his own party.

In the new survey, 54% of Republicans said they hold a favorable opinion of Romney, while 67% said the same in January. Among all Americans, 34% described the candidate as likable, down from 41% last month.

Meanwhile, Santorum's recent victories have boosted his standing among Republicans, 56% of whom had a good opinion of the former Pennsylvania senator, up from 49% in January.

The survey was conducted Friday through Monday, the tail end of a big week for Santorum with three contest victories followed by a spike in fundraising and poll numbers.

But among all Americans, Santorum's favorable rating has remained flat. Thirty-two percent held a good opinion in the new survey, while 31% said the same in January.

Texas Rep. Ron Paul and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich received positive reviews from roughly half of all Republicans.

But those numbers declined when Americans of all political affiliations were surveyed. In that case, Paul came in at 42%, ahead of Romney and Santorum, and Gingrich's favorable rating fell to 25%.

That leaves only one presidential candidate in the race with a national favorable rating above the 50% mark: President Barack Obama.

Among all Americans, Obama received positive reviews from 53%, with the poll suggesting he may have grown more popular in recent months.

Is it really possible that these idiots will put Santorum up as nominee? I find that incredile, and certainly wish they would! That would be even more fun than watching the party eat its own! It looks, tho', like it's "more of the same"...yet another not-Romney peaking. What a shame...

Oh, and what happened to all the chortling about Obama's numbers? I thought they were the be-all/end-all for our righties? Why the silence now, or at least a reverberating "He'll be toast in November"?

Me, I'm not making predictions. As it stands now, sure looks like Obama's got it nailed, but there's the European debt crisis, all kinds of potentials with Iran/Israel, the still-endangered economy. The Repubs are trying hard to hand it to him on a platter, but it's still waaaay early. So I'm not crowing...just chortling.

Obama is firmly beatable this election.....just not by this rodeo side-show roster the conservatives are putting up.

If i was an ardent Ron Paul supporter, I'd be pretty pissed that my guy is getting marginalized for these clowns. I mean, marginalize him for a real candidate who can win, sure, but if this is the best ya got, why not try something new?

Doesn't matter. High gas prices this summer and continued high unemployment will end Obama 1 termer's socialist experiment.

Lowest tax rate in decades, highest corporate profits ever.... that's some socialism.

Lowest tax rates is a complete myth, and highest corp profits ? Good. They'll need a reserve , should ObamaCare ever actually become fully unleashed on us. God help us all.

Any legitimate reason for those high gas prices? Or is it being done just because they can? There's clearly no shortage of gas or oil, since those have become our number one export.

No kidding. I didn't get past the first sentence in the article before I said out loud, "Romney has *favorability*?!"
