It sometimes seems Republicans have fewer differences with Democrats than with one another.

The Delano-based Republican's total came thanks to more than 300 individual donors, according to the statement .

The former Pennsylvania senator picked up nearly 45 percent of the vote in the state's GOP caucuses.

Just two weeks ago, a PPP survey showed Gingrich with a commanding 36 percent to 18 percent lead over his next closest rival, Romney. Santorum was in third with 17 percent and Paul in fourth with 13 percent.

Former congressman J.C. Watts stopped by Fabulous Fern's in St. Paul on Friday evening to stump for GOP presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich ahead of Tuesday's caucuses.

Obama's approval rating is still at just 49 percent, with 45 percent disapproving the job he's done in the White House. Last May, his approval rating was 51 percent.

A survey released Wednesday shows Gingrich with a 36 percent to 18 percent lead over rival Mitt Romney.

In August, Rep. Michele Bachmann’s presidential campaign was ascendant. After weeks of being touted as an unlikely top-tier GOP candidate, she narrowly won the Iowa Straw Poll, the first significant arbiter of 2012 credibility.

While Bachmann's numbers in Iowa are marginally better than she's seen elsewhere, they're likely still seen as disappointing given the premium Team Bachmann has placed on its performance there.

A new poll puts Bachmann at the bottom of the field: The only candidates she bests in the survey are Gary Johnson and Rick Santorum.
