National Poll: Gingrich 45% Obama 43%
 

"The Newt Gingrich surge has moved him to the top of the polls in Iowa, big gains in New Hampshire and now a two-point edge over President Obama in a hypothetical general election match-up."

shaping up
 

it looks like newt is beginning to shape up into our best prospect to appeal to conservatives and independents and maybe even some democrats who are no longer enthralled with president obama....no one can deny he is intelligent, knows the ropes, and will not be a doormat to any other country nor the UN.

He's rising in the polls at the right time. The liberals media war machine is frantically trying to dig up new dirt on him. They can't run on issues.

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.

So sorry if you want to accuse me of "cherry picking". I work 10 hour days, 45 minutes from home. This makes for a long day, so I choose wisely what I spend time reading online. One of my favorites is the Drudge Report. This link happens to have come from that site. I also never watch the liberal media TV stations, so haven't really a clue about other poll results from this week, but thought Rasmussen to be very reputable.:oops:
btw~I am still not backing Romney.

coralway,
I am just curious and have never asked someone who is clearly for Obama what they expect will happen in the economy and the world in general if Obama wins.
Do you think it will be better than the last four years?
Do you think everybody will just start getting along.
If not and it stays the same for the next four years are you fine with that.

Tell me what you think will happen with him as our president for another four years.
I am not trying to be tricky or anything here, I just want to know what you think will come of it.

The media building you liberals up for a huge disappointment. Obama's rating just keep going down, down, down. He's lower than Carter was at this point. Remember that back then they were telling you that Reagan couldn't win.

Obama's team is trying to find a way to transmogrify Obama into Harry Truman, about the only President to win reelection with as dismal an approval rating as Obama has.

But, you liberals keep beating that drum. It at least keeps you busy.

I'd love to see Newt and Obama debat the issues head to head. No doubt Newt would absolutely crush him.

Romney will be the next president. Why waste time dreaming aboute un-electable conservatives?

I don't agree with your analysis. A conservative candidate is exactly who'll be elected, and right now I may take bets that Newt is the next President.

Mitt hasn't risen in the polls for months. He stagnant as swamp water.

I am a Romney supporter, but would be happy to vote for Newt if he is given the go ahead from the GOP. I personally have not read anything that would turn me away from the booth if he is the REP choice. OH, by the way, I listen to MSNBC also, so I don't want to hear that FOX has clouded my gray matter.

The Drudge Report? That explains a lot. :doh:

If Newtie is all the the GOP has to offer, we are in deep doodoo.

I could not help but notice that without meaning to, you got this one right.
I know you just meant it the other way!

They actually do explain alot! But with our hermetically sealed ears and brains we are not open to another idea! Sad.

All the Drudge Report does is to link to stories from around the world in a sort of clearing house. There's no editorial content, just links to these stories you might not have otherwise known about.

You have a problem with people reading the news?
