Poll: Gingrich Receives Big Backing on Web

An Internet poll sponsored by NewsMax.com reveals that an overwhelming number of Americans — nearly 7 in 10 respondents — favor former House Speaker Newt Gingrich as their presidential candidate in 2008.

The unscientific poll of nearly 90,000 people also shows that Gingrich would win handily in a GOP primary race against both Rudolph Giuliani and John McCain.

The results are surprising considering that Gingrich has not even announced that he would run for the White House. The popular conservative said he won’t make a decision until the fall, although he has been raising money with his new organization, American Solutions for Winning the Future, possibly laying the groundwork for a presidential campaign.

Here are the poll questions and results:

1) What is your overall opinion of Newt Gingrich?

Favorable: 87 percent

Unfavorable: 10 percent
