Updated 4/10/12, 11:15 PM ET – With Rick Santorum dropping out of the GOP Presidential race, Gov. Mitt Romney is going to be the 2012 GOP Presidential Nominee. We will continue to update this page with results from the GOP Primaries, as well as the Delegate page. But from this point forward, we will not be updating polls on the GOP Nomination race. There won’t be that many going forward, with Romney a virtual lock to be the nominee.
