What’s the lead Obama has over Newt, if he has one?
“Rick Santorum, who is essentially the new kid on the block, has a favorable image with a plurality of the electorate (39% favorable to 36% unfavorable), but the other three Republican candidates are “upside down” with their unfavorable image exceeding their favorable image with the overall electorate. The candidates who have been in the national spotlight longer – Gingrich (26% favorable to 62% unfavorable) and Romney (38% favorable to 51% unfavorable) – have actually reached a majority unfavorable rating while Ron Paul (30% favorable to 46% unfavorable) holds a plurality unfavorable rating. The bottom line being, this is a trend that must be reversed before the general election if Republicans expect to be truly competitive in the fall in the Presidential election.”
Gingrich has 62 unfavorability among the generatl electorate, and performs worse vs Obama than all of the other candidates - Ron Paul included.
