New Positive Intensity Scores.

The folks over at the Gallup Poll have released their newest Positive Intensity Scores for the Republican presidential nomination race. They believe the Positive Intensity Score shows the depth of a candidates support -- with a higher score showing stronger support. The score is derived from subtracting the percentage of people who strongly disapprove of the candidate from the percentage of people who strongly approve of that candidate. Their newest Positive Intensity Scores show that Newt Gingrich is solidifying his support and is currently the strongest candidate. Here are the new scores:

Newt Gingrich...............+20 (up from a low of +1)

Mitt Romney...............+9 (down from a high of +20)

Herman Cain...............+9 (down from a high of +34)

Rick Santorum...............+7 (down from a high of +16)

Ron Paul...............+2 (down from a high of +16)

Michele Bachmann...............+2 (down from a high of +24)

Rick Perry...............0 (down from a high of +25)

Jon Huntsman...............-2 (down from a high of +15)

There's still 5 weeks to go until the Iowa caucuses kick off the primary season, but it looks like Newt Gingrich is in good shape -- at least for now.
