Beating Barack Obama and ending the damage he can do to this country is one of the most important tasks facing this country. Much to my chagrin, many of my fellow conservatives are all to willing to do Obama’s bidding in taking down Mitt Romney. What does that leave?
Newt Gingrich?
Unlike Mitt Romney, who occasionally beats President Obama in general election poll match ups, Newt Gingrich trails far behind President Obama in every survey. But just how bad are Gingrich’s unfavorable among the general public compared to Obama and Romney?
Not every poll releases their full results, so here are the most recent favorability results I could find for Obama, Romney, and Newt.
Fox News, 1/12-1/14:
Obama, fav/unfav, 51%/46%, +5
Romney, fav/unfav, 45%/38%, +7
Gingrich, fav/unfav, 27%/56%, -29CBS/NYT, 1/12-1/17:
Obama, fav/unfav, 38%/45%, -7
Romney, fav/unfav, 21%/35%, -14
Gingrich, fav/unfav, 17%/49%, -32PPP, 1/13-1/17:
Obama, app/dis, 47%/50%, -3
Romney, fav/unfav, 35%/53%, -18
Gingrich, fav/unfav, 26%/60%, -34America does not love Romney, but boy do they hate Newt.
Electability is the key here. None of us is going to find our ideal candidate. But Newt Gingrich is NOT going to be President. Not ever. He is not temperamentally suited to be President. Between his global warming commercial with Nancy Pelosi his reference to Paul Ryan’s plans as “social engineering” shows that he shoots off his mouth without thinking and does alarmingly stupid things.
Gingrich could be a real force for a campaign but he is never going to be President. He is too polarizing. He is too widely disliked.
Supporting Gingrich is supporting Barack Obama. This isn’t about what I want. This is about reality.
winner take all?
edit, thank you for playing
@MataHarley: You sound just like Newt. Don’t like the story… shoot the messenger. Obviously, you know more about the conversation than Abrams does. It’s like you were right there.
ROFLMAO @Mitchell Smith:
You guys crack me up… a gaggle of old coots trying to stay relevant. Sad.
@Mitchell Smith: Coming from the guy that is saying the most asnine things I have heard in a long time
Laughing is always good. And you comedy brings a smile to my face.
@Stix: Could you possibly make any MORE mistakes in one post? And, I don’t think you’re laughing. The truth’s too painful.
@Mitchell Smith: You said:
Yet you are the one who keeps leaving comments… Sadly interesting.
@Mitchell Smith: And @Mitchell Smith: LOL, you reply twice to just say, “Deal with it.” Yet you completely ignore the points I made.
Talk about sad. But I don’t blame you, Mitch. I mean if you are unable to have a real debate / discussion, I understand. It isn’t your fault that you can’t keep up.
You just stick to those silly little ad hominem attacks, false statements and immature name calling. That seems to work much better for you.
However if you have the stones, I will gladly have a real debate / discussion with you.
@bees…. Had to go host a poker tournament so couldn’t take my shot at 200.
@Mata… I read the Abrams article… any time someone quotes a part of a sentence it usually means that the balance that would place it all in context doesn’t support the author’s argument.
@Mitchell… I hope your job hunt goes well and that you eventually land a position somewhere.
Go Newt 2012
Donald Bly
yes I knew you where busy, so I took it for you, and you can have it any time you want, we have very powerful friends here to help on it, bye
@anticsrocks: Just here to remind you that AMERICA DEFINITELY HATES NEWT GINGRICH. Continue to entertain yourselves with these pseudo-intellectual musings until Newt gets dumped. Bad day on the horizon for Mr. Gingrich. Enjoy.
@Mitchell Smith: THIS is your idea of a debate? All you are doing is presenting your OPINION, not facts.
Have a nice day!
You folks have borrowed more than all the world currencies combined.
Time now for living on 70%:
10% short time debt
10% long time debt
10% savings
@oil guy from Alberta: Just trying to get your fucking oil, Canuck! Maybe we can make a dent in our insane energy dependence.
Other than that, I don’t need a fucking economics lesson from a guy who buys his shitty Labatts with loons.
Mitchell Smith
why don’t you go and fu.. yourself, you like the word?
eat it
Well, oil guy… I see you drew the rude and illiterate kindergartner out again… shame on you for leaving political PB&J and gummy bear crumbs. LOL
’tis a pity that the US POTUS won’t actually confirm what is a mutual benefit for Canada and the US for energy and trade. I suspect that, after he gets his enviro wacko base back in his camp, he will. But the reality is, you don’t need the US for sale of Canadian oil. The rest of the Asian world is lining up for it. You will always win. It’s just the US and the US citizens that will lose if Obama plays politics too unbearably long.
Well, when folks run out of intelligent things to say, they resort to gutter talk. Right, Mitch?
Mitchell is just angry because he probably doesn’t have gainful employment, spends his days proofreading resumes and vents his frustration at those civil enough and qualified enough to actually hold a job.
@Donald Bly: @Donald Bly: Good morning, Newt sycophants! I assume you’re heading for the lifeboats this morning. Newt got his ass kicked last night, and the Florida polls will soon reflect that. Have a great day spinning it.
@MataHarley: Yet, you’re still talking about ME. You’ve fallen for the oldest trick in the book. Rookie mistake.
@MataHarley: I have found a way to get rich instantly!!
Hear me out, here is my plan…
I am going to buy Mitchell Smith for what he is actually worth, and then sell him for what he THINKS he’s worth!!
One percenters, here I come!!!
@anticsrocks: Still talking about ME. Winning.
@Mitchell Smith: LOL, yep you’re the winner.
The Winner – Bobby Bare
Your new title and 6 bucks will get you a cup of coffee at a Starbucks…
Grats
@anticsrocks: Y’all have fun now. Now that Newt’s officially finished, I have other folks to enlighten.
@Mitchell Smith: I really must apologize, Mitchell.
Sincerely
I mean I tried to see things your way…
Mitchell Smith’s position on politics
but I just couldn’t get my head that far up my ass.
Thanks for playing!
Form what I see Americans are falling in love with Newt and rightfully so. Newt has the passion, experience and ideas to move this country forward. I don’t know anyone who is passionate about Romney. Romney has always been a liberal at heart and most conservatives know that. I don’t see how a true conservative can vote for him. If the media and establishment were not backing him, he would have no votes. If Romney were to win, most conservatives would vote the less liberal in (Romney) over Obama, but they will not be happy about it. Some may choose not vote at all.
@Sam: I’m not saying your heart is in the wrong place, Sam, but could you point me to any poll anywhere to give your assertion some credence?
DrJohn
what does the polls have something to do with the people which have not voted yet,
your POST reflect your ideas not the other, NEWT IS our choice so far he is standing for those who want to vote for him, and they are many of them still waiting.
Sam is right, NEWT IS THE BEST, the polls don’t read minds
SAM
you said something very important, that is the AMERICANS need to be happy with their votes this time as they never have ; the last time was because they have been told lies, from the MEDIA, and from those who where paid to sell THE GUY,
this time the vote belong to the AMERICANS, THE PEOPLE choosing their PRESIDENT TO SERVE THEM, NOT FOREIGN COUNTRIES; BUT ONLY AMERICA FOR AMERICANS OF GOOD WILL.
FOX said , ROMNEY have a big crowd on his rally, how much did he pay to get them drag on his stage,
NEWT has less but they choose to come on their free will alone
@ilovebeeswarzone: Bees, if Newt can’t win the primaries, he can’t win the election. I am not arguing with your choices, just being pragmatic.
Newt’s already won one primary…. the exact same as Romney but the establishment repukes have ordained Romney… screw them and their elitist bullshit… Newt 2012
@drjohn: Unfortunately we might never know if Newt could win in the primaries, because Romney, the establishment and the MSM won’t let it be a fair contest.
NEWT GINGRISH GO MAN, YOU MUST WIN, BECAUSE ROMNEY IS AN ASS, AND NOBODY WANT AN ASS TO REPLACE AN ASS.
NOW ROMNEY WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT TO SAY AGAINST NEWT, YOU ARE THE LOWEST OF ALL THE CANDIDATES WHICH HAVE BEEN ON THE CAMPAIGN, YOU DON’T DESERVE THE JOB, GET OUT OF THE WAY AND LEAVE THE PRESIDENCY TO ONE WITH MORE CLASS THAN YOU’LL NEVER HAVE,
BERNIE MARCUS,
YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS; NEWT NEVER ATTACK CAPITALIST in any way or shape,
he saw clear in ROMNEY FROM THE BEGINNING AND ATTACK HIM FOR LYING ON HIS DISCLOSURE OF
INVESTMENTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES.
CHECK IT UP YOURSELF THAT NEWT IS FOR CAPITALIST AND HE IS A CONSERVATIVE AND WANT AMERICA TO WORK AND SUCCEED.
DrJohn
well you where right on, does it mean that he has the win all over to debate OBAMA?
or he will have other debates in other STATES to become the only top men?
okay I read it at FOX, many more STATES TO TAKE,
THE GAME IS STILL GOING ON.
@ilovebeeswarzone: Well beezy, take heart. The vote broke down like this:
Romney 46%
Newt 32%
Santorum 13%
Paul 7%
Now if it were only Romney and Newt in the race, then one could make the assumption that Newt, Santorum and RP are splitting the anti-Romney vote. Therefore, the results could have looked something like this:
Newt 52%
Romney 46%
If Newt can raise enough money to outlast Santorum and RP, then he can win the nomination. No candidate drops out because they think they cannot win, they drop out because of a lack of funds.
anticsrocks
yes that’s what I was thinking while following the numbers, I was adding up the last 2 box and add GINGRISH, I was asking myself, is that a run to win for the right reason to save AMERICA, OR FOR EACH SELF SELFISH GREED FOR POWER which the 2 last candidates have no chance to get in,
even ROMNEY GOT ME VERY ANGRY, because he over use his power to not only send negatives multi- thousands of lies negatives adds, but was regurgitating with a few words arrogantly put with a cruel smile,,
he really then show me who his insights was, that to me was dark instinct and cruel person,
I then pictured him as the PRESIDENT, and he did not fit in that job compare to NEWT,
BYE
@Mitchell Smith: Hey Mitchie baby- you fancy yourself to be an intellect of some sort? Perhaps you are but a legend in your own mind, and nothing more- I do not have to defend Mata- she is perfectly capable of eviscerating you verbally all by her lonesome, so beware of whom you pick a fight with, unless you know your opponent. You might just get mauled.
