Gingrich: Polls show me improving

Newt Gingrich on Fox News last night, fighting against the prevailing wisdom that he's toast.

"Polls have started back up.

Remember, I took about two months of the elite media explaining I was dead, and I'm still here.

And the polls have started back up.

We've got many new donors coming out of Thursday night [GOP debate], who went to Newt.org and gave money voluntarily, and frankly, that's all been very helpful in rebuilding the campaign."

Twice, he says that "the polls have started back up." I'm not aware of any polls showing him doing better.

Also, check out the little fundraising pitch where he says that people have "voluntarily" given money to his campaign. That's, of course, is in contrast to the others who've threatened their donors with beheadings in the desert.
