President 2012 GOP Poll Watch: Newt Gingrich Leads BIG in 3 Early States – Is Newt the Nominee?

December 7, 2011 /

Newt gingrich Thumbs Up

Republican presidential candidate, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich gives a thumbs-up as he leaves the stage after addressing the 2012 Republican Presidential Candidates Forum hosted by the Republican Jewish Coalition, Wednesday, Dec. 7, 2011, in Washington

According to the latest CNN/Time/ORC Polls.

Iowa:

  • Gingrich 33%
  • Romney 20%
  • Paul 17%
  • Perry 9%
  • Bachmann 7%
  • Santorum 5%
  • Huntsman 1%

South Carolina:

  • Gingrich 43%
  • Romney 20%
  • Perry 8%
  • Bachmann 6%
  • Paul 6%
  • Santorum 4%
  • Huntsman 1%

Florida:

  • Gingrich 48%
  • Romney 25%
  • Paul 5%
  • Bachmann 3%
  • Huntsman 3%
  • Perry 3%
  • Santorum 1%

In New Hampshire, Mitt Romney continues to lead but Newt Gingrich has taken a commanding lead in the GOP Presidential primary race. Unless something happens and happens dramtically and quick, it looks like Newt Gingrich WILL BE the Republican Nominee.

The New Hampshire numbers:

  • Romney 35%
  • Gingrich 26%
  • Paul 17%
  • Huntsman 8%
  • Bachmann 3%
  • Perry 2%
  • Santorum 2%

I will hold to my belief there will be a draft movement for another candidate. But with such a commanding lead and if it is sustained, in later, other polls, it will be difficult to turn the tide away from Gingrich.
