Newt was in the 30s here before.
Not sure if serious here.
Why isn’t he recovering back to where he was is what I want to know?
People remember the latest they’ve seen and heard. The negative ads hurt him badly because he was not in a position to respond. The bulk of those ads came after the Dec. 17 debate, probably Newt’s high point. Now, Newt is fighting back and for all that the debates last weekend were not good overall, Newt did well. The Monday night debate could have a big impact. In all cases, Newt is visible right now. That has its positive and negative impacts, but Newt generally does well when the lights are on him.
