Newt Gingrich is outpacing Mitt Romney by a comfortable margin among Republican voters nationwide, but also is showing evidence of the vulnerabilities that could hurt the former House speaker in a general election, according to the latest Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll.
With the two rivals fighting it out in Florida after Mr. Gingrich's big South Carolina victory last week, the poll found Republicans nationwide favoring Mr. Gingrich 37% to 28% over Mr. Romney. GOP voters gave the former House speaker high marks for knowledge and experience, while they continued to harbor doubts about Mr. Romney's positions on the issues and his feel for average Americans.

But the survey also finds that many Americans overall, notably political independents, hold negative feelings about Mr. Gingrich, and that Mr. Romney fares considerably better in a hypothetical matchup against Democratic President Barack Obama.
The poll captures on a larger stage much of the drama playing out now in Florida, where Mr. Romney is scrambling to stop Mr. Gingrich's resurgence by jabbing at his weaknesses. After trailing at the start of the week, Mr. Romney has moved to even or just ahead in more recent polls. Florida holds its primary next Tuesday.

Really? Palin hints for people to vote for Newt, her husband comes out in support of newt and Thompson just came out for newt. don’t know where u r getting ur information.
Newt is called unelectable by Bob Dole, presumably based upon his own winning race for the Presidency.
Always nice to hear from former President Bob Dole.
Former President John McCain says Romney is a winner just like him and Dole too.
37% to 28% over Mr. Romney

Gov. McDonnell talking up Romney ( and endorsed him)
on Larry Kudlow - very disappointing.
Hehehe.. *snort* *chuckle*.
Exactly.
Isn’t Bob Dull or McCain giving advice on winning the presidency like the Chicago Cubs telling the Yankees how to win the World Series?
Pray for America
Some times you gotta' make waves!
Control: Romney you are the second string. You will only be put in the game if the varsity breaks his leg. You will not attack him in any way. The only time you will use his name is if someone attacks him in your presence, then you can say “Obama is a good man”. Is that understood.
Romney: (in a craven McFly obeisance) ye...ye..yes sir I understand sir.

Whomever is sitting on Zero’s dirt better start spilling it now. IMO, Newt has the spine and guts to use it unlike the Eunuchs in the US Congress like Boner et al.
YEAH!!!
FU MITTENS!
FU ROVE!
FU COULTER!
FU DRUDGE!
FU all you SMARMY, RINO, AMERICA-STABBERS!
In 1984 Bob Dole wanted a plank in the platform calling for raising taxes. Newt treated him like a Missouri mule, fence post up side the head, Dole has hated newt ever since.
Now you know why Dole endorsed Romney.
Are you for real? Levin, Palin, Thompson...all for Newt.
Whomever is sitting on Zero’s dirt better start spilling it now.
Exactly. There’s enough on the evil bastard to keep coming out until the election.
The problem is how much the MSM has covered for him since he infested our White House. If they had covered his treachery and shenanigans, his approval would be less than 10%
