GOP voters perceive Newt Gingrich as running the most negative campaign in this year's Republican presidential contest, according to a new poll on Monday.
Twenty-nine percent of registered Republican voters said Gingrich's campaign has been the "nastiest" this cycle, according to the national survey released by Fox News.
Mitt Romney leads the field for positive campaign perception, at 27 percent.







Romney also leads the field overall, chosen by 40 percent of voters surveyed as their preferred Republican presidential nominee, a jump from the last national Fox News poll in December that had Romney at 23 percent. Rick Santorum came in second with 15 percent, followed by Gingrich with 14 percent, Ron Paul with 13 percent and Rick Perry with 6 percent.

Newt was all positive in Iowa. He got attacked by negative ads by Romney's SuperPac and RP. He stayed positive and never countered.

As he has since explained, 'it was an experiment". It failed as it cost him a fairly large lead both in Iowa and nationally as recently as December of last year.

Now he is responding in-kind and he's called "most negative". Huh?

I guess that leads me to this conclusion. People are either ignorant on this or stupid. I'm willing to give them them the benefit of the doubt and go with "ignorant".
