Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich now trails President Obama by double digits, his second straight weekly decline since becoming the GOP frontrunner. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely Voters finds Obama earning 49% of the vote, while Gingrich receives 39% support.

Fits the thread author!
and none of it means a darn thing when he gets a billion dollar smear campaign dropped on him....obama 53-47
Here in America it's spelled "go".
But I'll cut you some slack since you were kicked out of France and then Canada. We don't surrender in 10 minutes here.
Rasmussen said this morning in WMAL that even Huntsman or a late entrant had a chance. But remember this, McCain would have beaten 0bama in 2008 had it not been for the fire in the Reichstag.
Full disclosure: who’s your favorite monkey?
I’ve said it all along. A vote for Newt will not only be an election about Newt, Newt will say things that will guarantee this will occur. He is utterly undisciplined! Independents and women will either stay at home or vote for whom they believe is the cool guy
Between Michele, Rick P., Romney and Grandpa Ron, Newt is being hit hard by a sum of at least 40% of the GOP base, probably higher. He has climbed on a shoestring budget because he has a strong message and conservative bona fide. That is the point I was making. Newt has conducted himself like a patriot during the entire primary campaign and is now only responding to the garbage that is coming from the other candidates. He is doing very well.
Gingrich is under attack by both the Republican and Democrat Establishments while Obama is not.
If Romney gets the GOP nomination, he will not have the smooth ride you imagine. The Establishment will turn on him just as they did on John McCain after building him up.
I should learn not to be so subtle. It’s usually a lonely place. ;^)
Yep, the knives are already out and they’re from our side’s supporters of the other shallow candidates indistinguishable from one another, except perhaps the doctor from Texas.
Wait until Newt creams Obummer in the debates. Tad bit early to be counting Newt out when the campaign hasn’t even started.
Newt = Obama second term. Women. Will not vote for him!
Romney or Hunts is better than newt if we are forced to pick a RINO.
So who are you backing?
Oh cut the crap, do you really think the indies and women will vote for a stammering, stumbling, incoherent gaffer like Perry instead?
Get a life......
Your little feeling were hurt? mordez-moi peu un
Subtle? I don’t get it. What tells you “Barbra’s” a man?
It will take one hell of a lot of fraud to get Obama to 50%, much less 53%. He only got about 52.5% with full promotion and support from the media. I think you are being pessimistic. I look at what is happening in Wisconsin, a blue state for a long time. Scott Walker has survived a massive leftist attack by not backing down. He holds a majority that for sure has some misguided people who voted for Obama. We need a strong fighter in this war. There is none stronger in this field than Newt.
I think you might want to reconsider this scenario.
10 points down. Just about where Reagan was to Carter at this point in 1979. Once people focus on the incumbent, pretty much ANY Republican will have a cake-walk.
...other than Romney, who almost guarantees us a Third Party run by a conservative.
I probably lean Perry right now, but Newt is better than Mitt.
Newt is a grenade waiting to explode. If we nominee him we are finished.
