While there hasn’t been a ton of polling out of Alabama and Mississippi in advance of tomorrow’s “Deep South” primaries, what we have seen over the past few days points to a potential coin flip on Tuesday night.

Interestingly, it looks like national polls of the GOP primary point to a similarly tight circumstance. Gallup’s tracker, inexplicably, is tightening again, and two new national polls see a four-point race, with Santorum leading in one of those polls.

On the general election front, it was a quiet Monday, though a national poll did give a little cover to Rasmussen’s sudden surge for the GOP.

NATIONAL (ABC/Washington Post): Romney 33, Santorum 29, Gingrich 14, Paul 12
