Of all the presidential candidates, Republican voters have the most faith in Newt Gingrich when it comes to knowledge and experience, according to a new Qunnipiac poll.
When Republican voters were asked which presidential candidate had the “knowledge and experience necessary to be a good president,” Gingrich outpaced the field by a wide margin.
48% said Gingrich, compared to 22% for the second-place Romney. No other candidate broke single digits.
The poll is another piece of good news for the surging Gingrich, and is among the first to confirm that his perceived erudition and experience may be a factor in his rapidly improving prospects.
