SUMMARY: On his radio show, Sean Hannity stated that Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) "picked up 12 points in the polls in the last three months" in his race against Pennsylvania Treasurer Bob Casey (D). Available polls appear to contradict Hannity's claim. While polls indicate that Santorum made marginal gains during the past three months, the totals come nowhere near the 12-point gain Hannity asserted.
