Gov. Mitt Romney is leading the 2012 GOP Presidential Field in new polls out of Michigan and Vermont. Romney is running strong in many of the states Republicans typically don’t do well in during general elections. That won’t mean much in a state like Vermont should he win the nomination, because Vermont is going to go for Obama in 2012. But all of these states do have GOP Delegates and can help Romney toward the 2012 GOP Nomination.

Michigan is a typically strong Democrat state, but because of the terrible economic conditions there, it could actually be in play for Republicans in 2012. Romney’s dad – George Romney – was Governor of Michigan from 1963-1969. Mitt Romney has some roots in Michigan, and has polled fairly well there against Obama so far, actually leading Obama by 4-points in a poll there in July.
