WASHINGTON, Nov. 14 (UPI) -- The latest CNN/ORC International Poll Monday put Newt Gingrich in a dead heat with Mitt Romney for the U.S. Republican presidential nomination.
Gingrich, the former U.S. House speaker whose campaign was given up for dead just a few months ago amid staff turmoil and stories about his bill at the high-end jeweler Tiffany's, garnered 22 percent support, compared with the former Massachusetts governor's steady 24 percent. The 2 percentage-point difference was within the poll's 4.5-point sampling error rate.
