A new national poll from Fox News shows a similar result in the GOP race: former House Speaker Newt Gingrich leads the way with 36 percent, followed by former Mass. Gov. Mitt Romney with 23 percent and Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) third with 12. The rest of the field is in single digits.
There was one nugget in the poll relating to the prospect of Gingrich in the general election. FOX asked all registered voters about how they would view a candidate who admitted to having an extramarital affair: 26 percent said it would “completely disqualify a candidate,” versus 64 who said they could still vote for one.
