Newt Gingrich gets good and bad news from polls today, one taken nationally and the other in the key primary state of New Hampshire. The national poll taken by Quinnipiac shows him doubling his support in the last three weeks to jump into the lead, 26/22, over Mitt Romney. He bests Romney in a two-man race by a wider margin, but still hasn’t gained much traction against Barack Obama:

Head to head polls against Obama are useless at this time.
Note: the poll is still pushing Romney as the man that can beat Obama. Confirms to me that he is the media darling
Media scare tactic
Let the Newt derangement syndrome begin...
Newt is going to make sure we have four more years of obummer. That way he will make the most money.
Romney is already acting as if he has won the nomination. On Fox this morning they said he had announced a possible running mate.
The fix has been in for a while. Its his turn.
“Let the Newt derangement syndrome begin...”
You mean like the extreme Mitt derangement syndrome?
Properly weighted, the Q-poll head-to-head results would be 47/43 for Romney over Obama, and 46/43 Obama over Gingrich — much closer results, although independents give Obama a +10 in the Gingrich matchup.
If Newt can win over even just a few more independents, I think he can beat Obama. In reality, with Obama only at 46 vs. Gingrich, I think Newt can beat Obama, and rather easily if he plays his cards right. Romney can too, IMHO, but that's like Tang beating Vaseline as a sandwich topping.
Newt is also the front runner in a new Real Politics Poll.
Very good news for Newt! He has had a lot of bad press and it seems a lot of people have conclude either he has turned over a new leaf or they simply don’t care about his personal transgressions. I tend to fall a little into both!!
Mitt believes it’s his turn, as does much of the GOP Establishment.
From here on out, I’m going to say “it’s Newt’s turn”. Newt could more legitimately make that argument than Romney can. He’s accomplished more for the conservative movement than Romney could ever claim. And that’s even considering Newt’s own shortcomings.
Hence the tagline. Although if the primary were today, I’d probably still vote for Cain, Newt is getting strong consideration from me.
Realistically, it’s not anyone’s “turn”. It belongs to whomever earns it. That said, this is my new phrase, just to piss off the Mittwitts.
Newt can beat Obama..I have no doubt but have concluded that FOX NEWS along with the expected MSM libs are definately committed to Romney. Attacks on every front runner but Mitt...think about it.

Even factoring in a bump, they are worthless. We don’t know the outcome of the debates, the narrative, the economic conditions next year, world events, budget negotiations, or where the republican nominees stand on possible issues such as the EU breakup or who he will stand with in a potential conflict between England and Germany. A lot is going to happen in the next year and how our nominee responds will have much more impact on poll numbers than what can be told right now. Romney doesn’t opine on current events. That won’t cut it moving forward.
All the polls I have taken has obama loosing 70/30 to all Republ. challengers.
BTW it was a scientific poll.
I’d just like to shine the light on the rats that keep pushing him. Probably all part of the globalization crowd.
On Bill Bennett’s radio show this morning he gave mittens a strong recommendation. Said that mittens was a strong center right conservative.
Maybe in the utopian upper right coast, but everywhere else in flyover country mittens is a leftist.

***On Fox this morning they said he had announced a possible running mate.***
It was also supposedly ‘a woman’.
Bets on the table: Michele Bachman is going to drop out and Mitt will name her as his VP choice.
