LOL - what a coincidence. Was just looking at this polling data this morning. It's nice how you cherry pick. The results you show there are part of a RCP Average of seven polls in which Rasmussen is the ONLY pollster to show Gingrich leads Obama. Even Fox gives Obama a 5 point lead. It is also worth noting, the Rasmussen data is the only poll based on likely voters, while all the others are based on registered voters. And unless Scotty has changed his sampling, they ONLY contact those with land lines, who tend to be older and white.

Here's the RCP link. Obama beats every announced R candidate quite handidly. In fact these numbers for Obama are better than last month's.

The R's have their candidate and it ain't Newt.
