Via MSNBC: Gingrich’s unfavorable rating hits all-time high in NBC/WSJ poll
Forty-eight percent have a negative opinion of Gingrich — an all-time high in the poll, even higher than it was during the Lewinsky scandal and Bill Clinton’s impeachment when Gingrich was speaker.
By comparison, just 16 percent have a favorable opinion of the presidential hopeful, which is down eight points since April.
Peter D. Hart, who conducted the survey with Republican pollster Bill McInturff, says the numbers demonstrated Gingrich’s "total and complete implosion."
Indeed.
