Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney has taken the lead in Pennsylvania, the home state of GOP contender Rick Santorum, according to a new poll released by Public Policy Polling.

Here’s a breakdown:

Pennsylvania Republicans are expressing major doubts about Santorum's viability both in the primary and the general election. Only 36% of GOP voters think Santorum has a realistic chance at the nomination to 54% who believe he does not. And when it comes to matching up against Barack Obama in the fall only 24% of Republicans think Santorum would provide their best chance for a victory while 49% think that designation belongs to Romney.

Analysts say the wins are projected to put Romney near the half-way mark for the 1,144 delegates needed for the GOP nomination. However, Santorum said he plans to go all the way to the convention.
