What about the actual radiator, does that get colder as you move lower down?
Also what is the temperature gauge saying?
As for a solution, poor circulation or stuck stat?

If you remove the rad cap, does it look like the water is flowing? Or maybe you have an air lock?
It does sound like a circulation issue!
