Not in every state and not in every poll. Try again.
And, BTW, his lead was not growing. Nor did he lead for six months.
But but...Newt’s wide support was thinner than a subatomic layer.
Not a valid comparison at all. Trump has been leading for months and months. Poll after poll after poll. Trump's gonna ride this wave all the way to the White House.
Newt never had a commanding lead since the summer a mile deep.. it was a short bump lead caused by one debate, the demise of Herman Cain and it lasted a couple weeks
But was Newt Gingrich leading the race in June...in July...in August...in September...in October...in November...and now into December - while his lead constantly grew?
True he was leading at that time. But Gingrich is no Trump.
