Former House Speaker has reached a new height in Gallup’s polling of the Republican Primary. Gingrich gets 37 percent their latest trial heat, the highest level that any Republican has reached all year in their polling. Gallup included the second choices of businessman Herman Cain’s supporters after he dropped out of the race this weekend.
Former Mass Gov. Mitt Romney is second with 22 percent and the rest of the field is in single digits. From Gallup:
Gingrich’s lead is especially large among conservative Republicans and those who describe themselves as supporters of the Tea Party movement, with more than twice the level of support of any other candidate. Romney ties Gingrich among Republicans who are not Tea Party supporters, and the race is close among moderate/liberal Republicans.
