Newt Gingrich’s lead over rival Mitt Romney narrowed to three percentage points in
Gallup’s latest national Republican tracking poll.
Among Republicans and Republican-leaning independents, the former speaker garners 26 percent of the vote, compared with 23 percent for Romney. That has narrowed sharply from the
15-point lead Gingrich enjoyed in early December.
Texas Rep. Ron Paul trailed behind the two, with 12 percent of the vote.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry had 8 percent and former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman polled last with 1 percent.
Gingrich surpassed Romney in Gallup’s poll in mid-November. Unlike other candidates who surged and then fell, the former congressman from Georgia has maintained his lead. He is the favorite to win the Iowa caucus next week but Romney remains the favorite in New Hampshire, according to a
Boston Globe poll released earlier today.
