A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely Republican Primary Voters finds Gingrich on top with 38% of the vote. Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney is a distant second at 17%. No other candidate reaches double-digits.
The national survey of 1,000 Likely Republican Primary Voters was conducted on November 30, 2011 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.
By the summer the media will be saying, “Who’s Gingrich?”
Even if this snapshot poll is accurate, I still think Romney is inevitable. Not my first choice, neither is Gingrich, but the nomination is Romney’s And either one will beat Hussein confidently. I can’t see at this point how Hussein can win, any of the Republicans running, except for that insane old crank Paul, would beat Obama, even the hapless Huntsman.
This shows the true colors of Republicans, they yell and shout about family values but when it comes to picking someone for the President of the USA they don’t care one whit. The hypocrisy is deafening.
If Gingrich is the nominee, that means we can look forward to four more years of Obama. The man has more baggage than the 1 a.m. El Al flights out of JFK.
To #4 - Ike had baggage, as did JFK , LBJ, and Clinton. So what else is new? Are our Presidents supposed to be saints?
