Newt Gingrich Up Big in Latest Gallup Poll … 15% Lead over Romney
In the latest Gallup Poll, Newt Gingrich 37% … Mitt Romney 22% … Ron Paul 8%.
The momentum continues for Newt Gingrich and his run for the GOP Presidential nomination. Since early November 2011, Gingrich has gained 24% in the polls while Romney has stayed even. It would appear that most of Herman Cain’s support has gone to Newt. Mean while as stated at Hot Air, “Newt continues to crush Romney among tea partiers and seniors.”
Gingrich Does Better Among Conservative Republicans and Tea Party Supporters
Gingrich’s lead is especially large among conservative Republicans and those who describe themselves as supporters of the Tea Party movement, with more than twice the level of support of any other candidate. Romney ties Gingrich among Republicans who are not Tea Party supporters, and the race is close among moderate/liberal Republicans.
Across the board, Newt Gingrich is surging in the polls. Most importantly in Iowa where a new NY Times/CBS poll has Newt ahead of Romney by 14% … 31% to 17%. As it stands now, Gingrich could win Iowa, place second in NH and win South Carolina. All this as Romney looks on one month before the GOP primary/caucus season begins and wonder what hit him and his candidacy.

Barack Obama’s Approval Rating of 43% Lowest Ever of Any President at this Stage of Term in Modern Political History … Lower than Jimmy Carter
BARCK OBAMA … WORST PRESIDENT EVER!!!
Barack Obama is officials the worst president ever for this state of his term in office in the modern Presidential era. According to the Gallup poll, Obama has a 43% approval rating. As compared to all other modern day presidents, Obama’s approval rating is the lowest ever, including Jimmy Carter.
Mirror Images … Welcome to Carter’s Second term
President Obama’s slow ride down Gallup’s daily presidential job approval index has finally passed below Jimmy Carter, earning Obama the worst job approval rating of any president at this stage of his term in modern political history.
Since March, Obama’s job approval rating has hovered above Carter’s, considered among the 20th century’s worst presidents, but today Obama’s punctured Carter’s dismal job approval line. On their comparison chart, Gallup put Obama’s job approval rating at 43 percent compared to Carter’s 51 percent.
Barack Obama has been an EPIC FAILURE. His present 43% approval ratings compared to other president’s approval ratings at the same point in time during their terms. Obama has hit a trend that his reelections minions cannot shake. Obama has consistently been at 43% for weeks. Only to be even lower in weeks prior to that.
- Harry S. Truman: 54%
- Dwight Eisenhower: 78%
- Lyndon B. Johnson: 44%
- Richard M. Nixon: 50%
- Ronald Reagan: 54%
- George H.W. Bush: 52%
- Bill Clinton: 51%
- George W. Bush: 55%
No President will be reelected with a consistent 43% approval rating. Obama’s approval ratings have literally politically flat-lined.
How bad is it for Obama? It is not like this is just one poll that has The One in the low 40′s. The RCP average has him at 43.4% approve, 51.2% disapprove.

Barack Obama’s Job Approval Average Hits All-Time Low of 41% Last Quarter
DOWN, DOWN, DOWN … HOW LOW CAN HE GO?
Once again President Barack Obama’s job approval for the last quarter has fell to an all time low. According to the most recent Gallup poll, Obama’s job approval is down four points from his previous all-time low of 45%. Obama’s job approval for this past quarter slid to 41%.
President Obama suffered some political blows in the 11th quarter, including the stalled negotiations to raise the federal debt ceiling and the decision by Standard and Poor’s to downgrade the U.S. credit rating. The unemployment rate also remained above 9 percent throughout the summer.
Sorry, but Obama is not Ronald Reagan or Bill Clinton, Barack’s polling numbers are on a continued downward trend, the other former two Presidents began to catch traction with the American people. Obama is just the opposite, We the People have lost all faith in him and are biding our time until the 2012 elections.

Generic GOP Candidate Leads President Barack Obama 46% to 38%
Barack Obama continues to trail against an unnamed Republican candidate.
According to the most recent Gallup Poll, a Generic Republican candidate leads President Barack Obama 46% to 38% among registered voters. No matter how one looks at this polling, the fact that only 38% would vote for Obama as opposed to any GOP challenger in the 2012 election must cause concern for Team Obama. As Hot Air opines, all the Republican party has to do is nominate a Republican candidate with plain wrapping and a blue stripe.
U.S. registered voters, by 46% to 38%, continue to say they are more likely to vote for the Republican presidential candidate than for Barack Obama in the 2012 presidential election. The generic Republican led by the same eight-percentage-point margin in September, and also held a lead in July. The August update, conducted just after an agreement to raise the federal debt limit, had Obama with a slight edge.
Is this a guarantee that the GOP nominee will defeat Barack Obama in 2012, no. However, the fact that an incumbent President is polling at 38% against an unnamed challenger should send chills through the reelect Obama minions. According to recent Rasmussen polls Obama narrowly leads Romney and Cain; however, when an incumbent President has a job approval rating of 43% and under the magical 50% … its time to be concerned that you provided America with no hope and they want change.

GOP Presidential Candidate Herman Cain Surges While Obama Hits New All Time Low Among Blacks
RUT-ROH, Obama even sinking in the polls among Blacks.
As President Barack Obama falls in every job approval poll, according to the most recent Gallup poll Obama is at an all time low among blacks. Only 80% of blacks said they approved of Barack Obama’s handling of his job. Yikes, this coming from the Obamamessiah who garnered 95% of the black vote in 2008. How racist, they are against Obama. Oh, wait, they are blacks who now oppose Obama. How will Obama’s minions spin this?
Overall, Gallup has Obama underwater in job approval 40%-53%. Even more concerning for Obama is that only 35% of Independents and 26% of Pure Independents approve of Obama’s job as President. As Weasel Zippers states, there is trouble in paradise.
Meanwhile, only 80 percent of blacks told Gallup in the week that ended on Oct. 9 that they approved of the way Obama was handling his job as president. Previously, Obama’s lowest approval among blacks had been the 81 percent he had received in the weeks that ended on March 6 and August 14 of this year.
Obama’s highest all-time approval among blacks was 96 percent–a level it reached during five different weeks of 2009, Obama’s first year in office.
However, the same poll that shows Obama’s freefall in pretty much every demographic has Republican Presidential candidate Herman Cain surging in the polls. Is it any wonder why Democrats, the MSM and liberal blacks are attacking Cain as not being black enough? Cain represents Obama and the Democrats greatest threat. How dare a black man be a Conservative Republican. The LEFT has lost their collective minds and fear Cain as they have gone so far in recent days with Cain’s increasing popularity questioning as to attack Cain that he is not liberal or black enough. UNREAL.
In a poll of 1,064 Republicans and Republican-leaning independents conducted Oct. 3-7, 18 percent said they supported Cain for president. That put the former Godfathers Pizza CEO in a close second behind former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who placed first with 20 percent.
Herman Cain has become such a threat to Obama and Democrats that the liberal, white, state run media feels the need to attack a black man as not being black enough. WOW. Keep it up MSM, you are helping Cain, not hurting him. Lawrence O’Donnell actually accused Cain of dodging the draft when in fact he actually worked for the Navy. However, in typical liberal MSM fashion … Lawrence O’Donnell actually dodged the draft during Vietnam as he avoided it by attending college. How disrespectful could the MSM possibly be? Keep it up MSM … you are making Herman Cain a super star.
