Newt Gingrich strong with Iowa evangelicals, Tea Partiers

Newt Gingrich's14-point lead over Mitt Romney among likely Iowa Republican caucus-goers is grounded in large part in support from Tea Party and evangelical voters, who have a far more positive view of Gingrich than they do Romney, according to a new CBS News/New York Times poll.

Poll: Gingrich takes double-digit lead over Romney in Iowa

Gingrich wins the support of 34 percent of white evangelicals expected to attend the Republican caucuses on January 3. That's higher than the 31 percent of likely caucus-goers who support Gingrich overall, and far outpaces Romney, who wins the support of just 10 percent of white evangelical caucus-goers. (Ron Paul, Rick Perry and Michele Bachmann also have more support from this group than Romney.)

Gingrich's favorable rating among white evangelical likely caucus-goers is 60 percent - compared to just 31 percent for Romney. Only 18 percent hold an unfavorable view of Gingrich, compared to 43 percent for Romney.

White evangelicals see Gingrich as more prepared to be president than Romney (48 percent to 12 percent), better to handle an international crisis (48 percent to 9 percent), better to handle the economy (22 percent to 11 percent) and having the best chance to beat President Obama next November (37 percent to 24 percent). The electability factor has been central to Romney's argument to conservative voters that they should put aside their misgivings and cast their ballots for him.

The findings suggest that the former House speaker is not being negatively judged by social conservative voters for his personal life, which includes three marriages and the acknowledgement of an extramarital affair......

Mr Wonderful.

How about Gingrich is one of the last still standing against Romney - not that it is a vote for him but votes against Romney.. So, don’t gloat, things could still change...

Looks like he has the highest number of the Evangelica's, although why the distinction of “white’?

[org.whodat]

Great, show your kids you support a serial adulterer for president. Great role model for someone to look up to.

[onyx]

I’m all for erasing FDR, JFK and Clinton from history books, aren’t you too?

[TwoSwords]

Glad to meet you, Jesus.

[Shadow44]

This is the best we can come up with?

[TitansAFC]

Better yet, stone him! That’s a much better example, especially since we’re electing him Pope of America.

Oh, wait...........

[RitaOK]

There are better photos of Newt somewhere, right? This one is pretty bad. He must have a groomer now, as a candidate, because his hair can look fabulous, and never a 5:00 shadow.

I’m a Newtonian.

It will be a delight to watch him kick the intellectual snot of out Obama in the debates.

Newt could be our leader to dismantle the Washington Bureaucracy. This is exciting.

[nicmarlo]

in large part in support from Tea Party and evangelical voters, who have a far more positive view of Gingrich than they do Romney

cool. :)

[aposiopetic]

But is it a conspiratorial facepalm?

[mylife]

The evangelical vote? Sure! why not? /s

“Newt could be our leader to dismantle the Washington Bureaucracy. This is exciting.”

You are an idiot for thinking such!

McCain in another guise.

The problem with Newtons laws are that they do not remain constant.
