Romney Way Ahead in California Primary

A new USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times poll in California finds Mitt Romney leads Rick Santorum in the GOP presidential race, 42% to 23%, followed by Newt Gingrich at 12% and Ron Paul at 10%.

Key finding: There remains a palpable lack of enthusiasm for the Republican field. Half of GOP voters said they wished other candidates were running for president.

The California primary is on June 5.
