Gingrich is the least popular politician in the country and is probably among the least popular people in the country. Naturally, Team Obama wants to meet him in the general instead of the more telegenic and electable Mitt Romney. But could Republicans possibly be stupid enough to nominate Newt “serial adulterer, lobbyist for Fannie Mae, delivered divorce papers to his wife on her cancer bed, has a million dollar line of credit at a jewelry store” Gingrich?
Why, yes. They could well be that stupid.
Gingrich Leads In New Iowa Poll
A November 28th poll from InsiderAdvantage shows Newt Gingrich with a 15 point lead in the upcoming Iowa caucuses. Gingrich commands 28.1% of the vote, while Ron Paul garners 13.3% and Mitt Romney gets 11.5%.
In InsiderAdvantage’s previous poll of the Iowa caucuses, conducted on November 8th, Gingrich placed third with 14.5% of the vote, compared to 18.7% for Romney and 23.3% for the first place Herman Cain.
Cain has dropped considerably since then, placing fifth in the November 28th survey with 9.8% of the vote, compared to 10.1% for the fourth-place Michele Bachmann.
InsiderAdvantage conducted the poll for the conservative website Newsmax.com.
Ginrich also leads in SC.
Having said that, Anything can happen in a general election. Gore wanted to line up against Bush and got his wish. And fellow Democrats, our candidate isn’t exactly Mr. Popularity.
How unpopular is Obama? So unpopular, that he seems to run against himself in his fist ad buy of the election:
The buy is paying for two separate ads, both of which urge Americans to sign up to join the campaign.
“The 2012 campaign is underway, and the outcome will depend not on what I do, but on what you do,” Obama tells voters in the first ad. “It’s up to you to fight for the values we all share. Don’t sit this one out.”
Eeeesh….. He’s an innocent bystander. You better get out and vote, because it isn’t about anything that he is going to do.
