Title: In Iowa, Gingrich is Gaining Favor, New Polls Show
Published: December 6, 2011
According to the latest New York Times / CBS News Poll, the state of Iowa believes that Newt Gingrich is more prepared to be president than Mitt Romney and just as capable of defeating President Obama. Gingrich is rated more favorably than any of the other six remaining candidates in the race among the voters who say they are likely to attend the Republican caucus in Iowa.
However, it is not the end for Romney. Two-thirds of voters remain open to changing their minds. Polls say that they are willing to embrace a candidate who is less conservative than they are and say that economic concerns are more than social issues.
Mr. Gingrich is drawing more than twice as much support as Mr. Romney among men and those who consider themselves to be conservative. He receives three times more support than Mr. Romney from evangelical Christians. Romney gets more support from voters who call themselves moderates.
Dennis Halsne, a 65 retired salesman from Woodward, Iowa was interviewed. He stated, "Is he a perfect candidate? Absolutely not. None of them are. But right now, he is the one who I would back."
Overall, I learned that Gingrich is in the lead, followed up by Romney and Ron Paul who are both tied in second. However, voters could easily change their minds in who they support. They would like to see more proposals on economic solutions. Reading about Halsne's comment shocked me. He could be possibly representing what most of the Iowa-ians are thinking, which is that they believe none of the Republican candidates are good. They are just simply following an obligation when they are telling who they support.
There is a possible chance that this could just be some form of biased act. Publishing the answer to a person who bluntly says that none of the candidates are right is what a democratic source would do.
