Poll: Gingrich tops Romney by 10 points to lead GOP race


A new poll out Monday afternoon found that, seemingly out of nowhere, longtime third-tier candidate Newt Gingrich has emerged as the frontrunner for the Republican party’s nomination to the presidency.

Democrat affiliated survey group Public Policy Polling (PPP) found that not only is the former House speaker and Georgia congressman leading the race, he’s also beating odd-on favorite Mitt Romney by double digits.

Both former Mass. Gov. Romney and former businessman Herman Cain have seen their numbers plummet in recent polls, with Romney losing 4 percent and Cain losing 5; meanwhile, Gingrich has catapulted up 13, PPP found.

The top tier now sits at Gingrich with 28 percent, Cain with 25 percent and Romney at 18 percent. PPP said the gains made by Gingrich represent an 18 percent increase over just two months.

6. Six months ago Limbaugh was ridiculing him saying he had no chance
It shouldn't be too hard to dig up a few of those clips and drive the dumbasses nuts with them.

10. Six months ago
it would have been laughable to think that Cain had a chance.

Frankly, at this point in time four years ago, it looked like McCain was dead in the water, too. Funny how speed dating works for Republicons.
