It is very likely that one way or another medical marijuana will finally become legal in Massachusetts. A new poll by Public Policy Polling found that a majority of voters in the state would vote for a medical marijuana initiative, and there is a very good chance such measure will be on the ballot this November.

Once again it appears Mitt Romney is heading towards a serious defeat in the South. Ahead of Louisiana’s primary tomorrow Rick Santorum holds an impressive 14 point lead over Romney, according to a new poll by Public Policy Polling.

Elizabeth Warren currently holds a five point lead over incumbent Republican Sen. Scott Brown in the Massachusetts Senate race, according to PPP. While five points is a relatively small lead, trailing by any amount this far out from the election is normally considered to be bad news for an incumbent, and in a Democratic state, being identified with the Republican Party may well decrease his current popularity as the campaign develops.

Going into tomorrow’s primary in Illinois and fresh off his win in Puerto Rico, Mitt Romney currently holds a huge fifteen point lead in Illinois over Rick Santorum according to Public Policy Polling. This shows a large increase in Romney’s support and it follows massive spending to regain momentum.

While some state polling by PPP indicates that Newt Gingrich dropping out of the race would be a clear benefit for Rick Santorum, Gallup national polling found it would have no significant impact. According to Gallup, 40% of Gingrich supporters’ second choice is Mitt Romney while 39% choose Santorum as their second choice. As a result, if Gingrich dropped out Romney’s lead over Santorum would remain basically unchanged.

After losing both Alabama and Mississippi last night it seems Newt Gingrich really has no legitimate path forward. His Southern strategy was proven to be a total failure, and he has only managed to win two states. The only thing Gingrich’s continued presence in the race is doing is to be a spoiler for Rick Santorum.

If there has been one constant throughout this Republican primary, it is that there’s a huge home state advantage for each candidate. It’s now working for Rick Santorum, who has a huge double digit lead in Pennsylvania according to the newest Public Policy Polling survey of the state.

It looks like it could be a late night tomorrow with Republican primaries taking place in Mississippi, Alabama, and Hawaii. The latest polling from PPP shows both Mississippi and Alabama extremely close. In Mississippi Newt Gingrich leads Mitt Romney by only two points; in Alabama it is nearly a three way tie with Gingrich, Romney and Santorum separated by just two points.

Even though ten states are voting in the Republican presidential primary tomorrow, most of the media’s attention will likely be directed at Ohio, where the race between Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum remains incredibly close. If Santorum doesn’t win Ohio, it would likely start people questioning the viability of Santorum’s candidacy. Ohio is probably a must win for Santorum.

On Super Tuesday tomorrow, Newt Gingrich is at least assured one victory in his home state of Georgia, where his support is about double that of Romney. But a big Gingrich win here may actually help Romney by keeping his foes divided.
