New Gallup poll: Obama and Romney tied; Obama leads Gingrich by large margin

[Weisbergkevin]

Obama +12 against Gingrich.

We should be rooting for Gingrich for the GOP nomination IMO, for this reason.

1. Gingrich is leading the GOP for nomination.

Average poll results for 1/12 - 1/28
Gingrich: 30.3%
Romney: 27.5%
Santorum: 16.3%
Paul: 12.8%

I would rather see Newt vs. Obama. The debates would be DVR worthy.

6. Gingrich is going to lose Fl big tomorrow and then he isnt on ballot in some states

he doesn't have the money or organization Romney has--he isn't going to be the GOP nominee.

2. People are only starting to learn about Romney. The more you learn, the less you like him.

3. How on God's earth is it even possible that Romney is anywhere near Obama!???~?

4. How could Romney possibly be tied with Obama?

I can't even fathom that. Hope O runs against Noot, then.

5. Because people blame the shape the country is in, on Obama, instead of the real culprits.

And the media helps the GOP push that point of view!

10. I agree

the media is working overtime to kick Obama's feet out from under him - I just find it odd that they think Mr. Bain is a better answer.

11. Question is...in a country where Bush tied Gore and beat Kerry...how can we still be surprised...

when Romney is tied with Obama?

7. This is proof

that Gallup's last swing-states poll was flawed.

Look at the trends from the link:





Obama went from being 3 points behind Gingrich to leading him by 14?

The previous poll was clearly an outlier. http://www.democraticunderground.com/100211641

Purple Strategies also showed Obama leading:
