A CNN/Opinion Research poll on Monday showed 63 percent of All Americans viewed Gingrich unfavorably, compared to just 25 percent who saw him in a positive light.
And today, a new CBS News/New York Times poll shows a similar split: 54 percent view Gingrich unfavorably, compared to 16 percent who say they feel positively predisposed towards him.
Those 38-point spreads between his favorable and unfavorable ratings are a new high for Gingrich in the 2012 campaign and tie his worst numbers from 1997, when he faced ethics troubles and a GOP revolt during his time as speaker of the House. (Fun fact: now-Sen. Al Franken joked in 1996 that Gingrich’s “favorable rating is only four points higher than the Unabomber.”)
And in fact, the numbers are worse than any national political figure The Fix could find in recent years — even, arguably, George W. Bush.
Maybe it is a lifetime achievement award.
Gingrich is even behind Sarah Palin when it come to favorability. Personally, I absolutely adore Sweet Sister Sarah. She is just a glorious slow motion train wreck spectacle to behold. She really needs to do another reality show. Perhaps a Super-Duper Nanny show were Sarah shows up and scolds people for behavior that she does not like. I guess we already have that - it is called Foxnews.
