Gingrich to the rescue?

National | The rhetorically challenged Bob Dole needs Newt's help | Cal Thomas

Four years ago, opinion polls showed George Bush's popularity heading south. Many in the Bush camp refused to panic or take corrective measures. They believed the president would pull out of his nose-dive and head back in the direction of his record-high approval ratings that followed the Gulf War.

What some believe could be "Bush-2"-the presidential campaign of Bob Dole-is facing a similar challenge. A Los Angeles Times survey reveals that a majority of Americans have already become disenchanted with the Republican Congress and have little enthusiasm for Dole. The survey shows President Clinton beating Sen. Dole, even with third-party candidates Ross Perot and Ralph Nader in the race. In a two-man contest, according to the survey, Mr. Clinton wins 55-37 percent. In a four-way race, the president wins with 45 percent to Mr. Dole's 32 percent. Mr. Perot gets 13 percent and Mr. Nader 6 percent.
