A new Gallup Tracking poll of registered voters conducted from 3 – 7 Dec 11 has been released concerning the Republican Tea Party (GOTP) nominating circus; the current poll results are:

Newton Leroy Gingrich 34; Mittens Romney 25; Ronny Paul 10; Michele “Krazy” Bachmann 7; Reverend Rick Perry 5; Ricky “The Ric” Santorum 2 and  Jon “I can’t believe it’s not butter” Huntsman 1

The GOTP version of the Island of Misfit Candidates continues with Newton holding on to his lead over Bridesmaid Mittens; Paul is holding steady as a distant third; still waiting on Krazy’s prediction to come true with Cain’s followers “going home to her”; Reverend Ricky, continues to drop away and out of view, while Santorum and Huntsman maintain their bottom dwelling mud sucker status.

In Iowa, a new CNN/Time poll of likely voters conducted 29 Nov – 6 Dec 11: Gingrich 33; Romney 20; Paul 17; Perry 9; Bachmann 7; Santorum 5 and Huntsman 1

In New Hampshire, the CNN/Time poll of likely voters conducted 29 Nov – 6 Dec 11: Mittens 35; Gingrich 26; Paul 17; Huntsman 8; Bachmann 3; Perry and Santorum 2

In South Carolina, the CNN/Time poll of likely voters conducted 29 Nov – 6 Dec 11: Gingrich 43; Romney 20; Perry 8; Paul and Bachmann 6; Santorum 4 and Huntsman 1

In Florida, the new SurveyUSA poll of likely voters conducted on 05 – 06 Dec 11: Gingrich 45; Romney 23; Bachmann 6; Perry 5; Paul 4; Huntsman 3 and Santorum 2

In Nevada, the very out of date PPP (D) poll of registered voters conducted from 20 – 23 Oct 11: Romney 29; Cain 28; Gingrich 15; Paul 7; Perry 6; Bachmann 3; Huntsman and Santorum 2 – it’s doubtful Romney continues to lead in Nevada as the majority of Cain’s supporters very likely have moved to Newt.

In the five states with the lead off primaries – or caucuses – Gingrich leads big with 3 states and a probable 4th over Romney’s 2 and very likely 1 …

Concerning how the GOTP “candidates stack up against the President; according to a Rasmussen Reports poll of likely voters conducted 30 Nov – 01 Dec 11, if the general election were held today:

President Obama 42/Romney 40

According to a Rasmussen Reports poll of likely voters conducted 06 – 07 Dec 11, if the general election were held today:

President Obama 45/Gingrich 40

So, if the GOTP clown car had finally stopped spinning, and the general election was held today, Newton Leroy Gingrich would be the GOTP nominee, but he would’ve lost to President Obama.
