re: "and he holds narrow leads"

He better hold onto those "narrow leads" with both hands, clo. The Republicans are campaigning against each other right now - not against him. What do you suppose will happen to his ratings when that changes?

Not to mention that he's now pinning his hopes on attaining an 8.0 percent unemployment level. First, he'll never do it. Second, 8.0 percent STINKS.

The economy is still falling. He'll be lucky to avoid ten percent official unemployment. (The actual numbers are already far worse.)

Poll: Newt soars in S.C., Fla., loses to Obama

12/11/11 9:41 AM EST

NBC/Marist polling – which last week showed Newt Gingrich with a solid lead in Iowa and closing on Mitt Romney in New Hampshire – now puts him way up in South Carolina and Florida:

In South Carolina, which holds its presidential contest on Jan. 21, Gingrich gets the support of 42 percent of likely primary voters, including those leaning toward a particular candidate. That’s a 35-point jump since October’s NBC-Marist poll of the Palmetto State contest.

Romney gets 23 percent (a five-point drop), and no other Republican candidate registers in double digits. …

In Florida, which holds its primary on Jan. 31, Gingrich is at 44 percent among likely voters -- a 38-point increase from October. He’s followed by Romney at 29 percent (a four-point decline), Paul at 8 percent and Perry at 4 percent.

Those results pretty much confirm the Time/CNN numbers released Wednesday, which had Gingrich had the favorite in every January primary and caucus state except New Hampshire.

The NBC/Marist polls also show some surprisingly good general election numbers for Obama, particularly against Gingrich:

In hypothetical match-ups, the president leads Romney by seven points [in Florida] (48 to 41 percent) and Gingrich by 12 points (51 to 39 percent).

In South Carolina -- a reliable Republican state in presidential contests -- Obama’s approval rating stands at 44 percent, and he holds narrow leads over Romney (45 to 42 percent) and Gingrich (46 to 42 percent).
