the wrong direction and when it comes to whether or not you approve of the way the president of the united states is handling the economy, 39% approve but 57% disapprove and that s exactly where it was last month so the president has got some real problems. he is vulnerable. it just depends on who the republicans put out there. so the first contest is going to be in iowa less than three weeks away now. let s look at the latest iowa poll. this is stunning. you can see that newt gingrich is on top 22% but look who is in surging magnificently, if you re a ron paul fan, 21%, mitt romney at 16%. michelle bachmann up as well to 11%. but if the people of iowa are responding without herman cain there and having seen newt gingrich be attacked by ron paul, you know what they re saying? i like ron paul s attacks on newt beginni gingrich and if neo win iowa, new hampshire he will likely lose, he s going to have to wait three weeks to get the
christians thinks god would reject mitt romney because of his mormonism. the defense secretary says there s no plans to stop the drone program along the border. he said it will absolutely continue despite the loss of a valuable drone to iran. that was an exclusiveer interview for fox. it was. today s final debate is before the iowa caucuses, what should newt gingrich do to solidify his lead? and should mitt romney take off the kid gloves. if you re advising mitt romney and newt gingrich, tell me the two most important points in the debate. romney at this point has to get out of the way and let newt gingrich do his thing and let gingrich be out there and take all the shots and take all the flak because what happens in this process is whoever is in the lead gets all of the
attacks, the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune go right his way and i think that that s a process that brought down a whole series of republican candidates. and now i think those shots are directed at gingrich. i don t think that gingrich is going to be knocked out in the same way that cain was or perry or the others. but i do think it s going to go down to a two way fight but i think newt is going to come back to earth and it will be a tough two way fight straight through the rest of the process. what newt has to do is have the same great debate performances he s had before this past saturday. i didn t think he did well on this debate on saturday. abc thinks otherwise but they want him to win and i think newt did not do well in the saturday debate. he did much better in the previous ones and for him to keep his frontrunner status and build it back up in iowa, he s got to shine. he s got to be newt gingrich.
endorse newt gingrich, it fuels the fire for those people who like him, they like him because he s not ironically the republican establishment even though he was speaker of the house. it signifies the divide in the republican party between the candidate that maybe can win a general election and is part of the party establishment, mitt romney, and the one who is not. yeah, but party establishment but not the tea party because it seems like the tea party and the very conservative have not run to mitt romney where moderates say he s ok with me and perhaps even some democrats say i could probably go with him and the other thing to keep in mind, this one point is just bring us to january 3rdrd. let s say iowa goes to ron paul or it s a very small margin victory for newt gingrich. he can t really celebrate. yeah, i want iowa but i was winning it by 15 and then he goes to new hampshire and it s more than likely that mitt romney is going to be unbeatable there. i m not saying it s not going
base. if he opposes it, there goes the union money. you know what the overarching thing is, the president wants us off oil and gas. technically long term he s right. he wants to go solid green. the economy can t afford to go solid green. green energy isn t there. if he puts an oil and gas pipeline in, how is he going to dump oil? exactly right. there goes the price. let us know what you think about that and it looks like members of congress will be sticking around a few more days until they sort this out. in the meantime, let s go back to the republican primary situation now. you have mitt romney and newt gingrich in what appears to be the battle for the top spot now. but really, it s a different kind a battle so for mitt romney, it s trying to get the republicans primary voters to be on his side because look at how it stacks up this way. gingrich now 40%, he s broken the 40% barrier. romney is 23%. ron paul is surging at 9%. bachmann 8% and perry 6%. so then you have newt gingric
