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.
Actually, I hate Barack Hussein Obama.
He’s unpopular and my hope is that he knocks Romney off his stride before fading away.
November 2012 will give them the reality show of a lifetime.

America loves a winner and can’t abide a loser.
Newt fights and wins!
Let’s wait and look at his favorability AFTER a campaign, instead of before.
I would MUCH rather lose with the guy that agrees with me most of the time (Newt) than “win” with the guy that has NEVER had myc back on any conservative issue.
Mitt Romney (D-Mass) can go pound sand.
There’s nice Newt, and Nasty Newt, but there’s only one nasty, lying, Commie POS Barack Obama.
IF Romney gets the nom I will feel a little better knowing he had to work for it a little bit.
If Gingrich is our next President I hope he surrounds himself with solid conservatives.
If Santorum makes it beyond SC I hope he challenges them all until which time he drops out.
This more than anything else illustrates how Republicans are committing political suicide by nominating Newt Gingrich. These numbers show that roughly half of the voters will not vote for Newt. Let’s find a candidate who has much lower unfavorability numbers before it’s too late.
I’ll vote for Newt even though he disgusts me. So how in the hell are we going to get this man elected?! He’s a pig. This is going to be really tough folks.
That’s exactly what the GOP establishment and Romney are trying to do by having these polls run. They are trying to shape public opinion.
Hoodat, are you a Mitty?
You get on every post about Gingrich and spew the same tired nonsense.
Did you ever consider that Newt’s unfavorables really are that high, and what the consequences of that will be?
No, I'm a conservative.
I disagree.
Tagline.
Better yet, let's believe every last bit of horse$hit the corrupt MSM feeds us and then wet ourselves like frightened little schoolgirls.
“Did you ever consider that Newt’s unfavorables really are that high, and what the consequences of that will be?”
Don’t dare speak ill of the great conservative Newt here now... </s>
He is the great conservative knight in shining armor...Don’t cha know?
Like I said before, if he somehow beats Obama (is going to be a LOT harder then people think here). Watch how he governs. He is a progressive at heart and will govern like a big govt republican to the delight of all the GOP elite.
