Unlike Mitt Romney, who occasionally beats President Obama in general election poll match ups, Newt Gingrich trails far behind President Obama in every survey. But just how bad are Gingrich's unfavorable among the general public compared to Obama and Romney?
Not every poll releases their full results, so here are the most recent favorability results I could find for Obama, Romney, and Newt.
Fox News, 1/12-1/14: Obama, fav/unfav, 51%/46%, +5 Romney, fav/unfav, 45%/38%, +7 Gingrich, fav/unfav, 27%/56%, -29
CBS/NYT, 1/12-1/17: Obama, fav/unfav, 38%/45%, -7 Romney, fav/unfav, 21%/35%, -14 Gingrich, fav/unfav, 17%/49%, -32
PPP, 1/13-1/17: Obama, app/dis, 47%/50%, -3 Romney, fav/unfav, 35%/53%, -18 Gingrich, fav/unfav, 26%/60%, -34
America does not love Romney, but boy do they hate Newt.

GO NEWT!
Damn the torpedoes.
Keep saying it and maybe you’ll believe it.
Indeed he does. He body-slammed CNN and has now cancelled a Sunday morning appearance on ABC. Kudos for both - he's savvy enough to avoid the pit of vipers.!

Look, here’s more of them! Apparently they want us to have the most difficult time taking down zero as possible. There’s no other way to explain this kind of behavior.
I would like to sick the junkyard dog Newt on O’s rear end.
Saying we have to do better than Newt is the easy part. Anybody can do it.
Why don't you click your ruby slippers together and tell us who that person is?
If you examine Noot's platform, he is actually running to the left of Mitt Romney. In the debate last night, he said he would replace Obamacare with his own version of Obamacare, and he didn't back away from his pro-amnesty position. Contrast that with Romney who said he was against amnesty and that healthcare should be a state issue, not a federal one.
There are plenty of folks here who are stuck on some river in Egypt.
Then why are the establishment prog-pubs (AKA Socialist R's) backing Mittens and his unusual animal transportation circus?
This poll don't smell like shinola!!!
“He is a progressive at heart and will govern like a big govt republican to the delight of all the GOP elite.”
At some point, when the reality of the 16 trillion debt forces choices, I think Gingrich may have the historical perspective to sign and administer the budget and the downsizing of federal government that will be forced on the administratrion that happens to be in power when the next debt crisis occurs.
“now cancelled a Sunday morning appearance on ABC.”
Newts way of saying screw you ABC for the Marianne hit piece you put out on me that was a big failure. Way to go Newt. GO NEWT GO!
“Mitt Romney (D-Mass) can go pound sand.”
He -could- pound sand, but he -won’t- pound sand. He will send some Mexican to do it. Unless it is an election year. Then some other gentile will do. Little Lord Fauntleroy cannot get sand on his satin knickers.
that’s what elections are for.
Reagan was down massively against Carter almost all the way to election day.
And Obama's better?
Nominating Gingrich would have the same effect on Democrats as the Dems nominating Nancy Pelosi would have on Republicans and conservatives.
Crawl. Over. Broken. Glass. To. Vote. Against.
People seem to forget how hated Gingrich was when he was Speaker. Except they haven’t forgotten.
“There are plenty of folks here who are stuck on some river in Egypt. “
I posted a half dozen videos from youtube the other night with NEWTS OWN WORDS right on camera for all to see...Guess what he was saying?
I will give you a hint...They were not the words of a conservative.
I want Mitt Romney beat and out of the race as much as I want Obama to be beaten in November. But to say that Newt is the CONSERVATIVE to do it is nonsense. The guy is NOT a conservative.
He has changed ALOT over the past few years. Why in the hell did he endorse liberal republicans instead of the conservative choice? Why was his ass sitting on a couch with one of the most evil women in America in present day?
Why? Why?
