“That same poll shows Romney narrowly beating Obama in a head-to-head matchup, while Gingrich would lose 37 percent to 53 percent.”
This of course is the elephant in the room. Gingrich can’t beat Obama. Hell, as of yet he can’t even beat Romney in a Republican primary...that is very worrisome.

It’s still a conservative country.
It’s just a poll.
Don’t you realize that the conservative vote in the primaries is being split 3 ways, maybe even 4 if you count Ron Paul as a deficit cutter?
With Barack Obama in the White House and Harry Reid as Senate Majority Leader.
"It’s just a poll."
Consistent with others.
"Don’t you realize that the conservative vote in the primaries is being split 3 ways, maybe even 4 if you count Ron Paul as a deficit cutter?"
I do, but Newt Gingrich is arguably the most well-known and consequential conservative leader since Reagan. He really ought to have wiped away the conservative competition and crushed Romney. The fact that he can't consolidate even his own party behind him, much less the conservative wing of his own party, is problematic.
