Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum is coming to Georgia Sunday to campaign in advance of the state's March 6 primary, and The News wants to see what readers think about the surging hopeful.

Santorum is riding high following a trio of primary wins in Colorado, Minnesota and Missouri, but a recent Georgia poll had him behind native Georgian Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney.

Covington News readers preferred Romney to current president Barack Obama by a vote margin of 702 to 408, according to the results of an unscientific, online poll. Santorum will be the next contender to face Obama in our poll.

Georgia is worth 76 caucus delegates, the most of any of the 10 states holding elections Tuesday, March 6. The delegate count stands at 123 for Romney, 72 for Santorum, 32 for Gingrich and 19 for Ron Paul, with 1,144 delegates needed for the nomination.

Santorum had 30 percent support to 28 percent for Romney in a national poll released this week by the Pew Research Center. But the same poll said 31 percent of all adults had never heard of or couldn't rate him. That's a significantly higher number than for Romney, Gingrich or Paul. Even among Republicans, one in five told Pew they didn't know enough about Santorum to rate him.
