CBS News Poll analysis by the CBS News Polling Unit: Sarah Dutton, Jennifer De Pinto, Fred Backus and Anthony Salvanto.

In the Republican race for the presidential nomination, Newt Gingrich's support continues to slowly grow, and he is now tied with Mitt Romney for second place, while Herman Cain just edges both of them out for the top spot. Both Cain and Romney have lost support since late October.

In a new CBS News Poll, 61 percent of Republican primary voters say the sexual harassment accusations against Cain won't make any difference in their vote, but 30 percent say the charges make them less likely to back him, and that rises to 38 percent among women. Cain has lost support among women since last month - from 28 percent in October to 15 percent now. He has lost ground with conservatives and Tea Party supporters as well.

But the race could still change; seven in 10 Republican primary voters say it is still too early to say for sure which candidate they will support.

Gingrich.

... ugh

dont worry he won't win

caught a little of the rep debate, both gingrich and romney will crush obama....cain was okay but his answers lack depth and still better than the one....santorum wrong re pakistan and paul wrong on everything.....in fact there was a time when paul was ranting re waterboarding being torture....asked by the moderator what torture was he could not answer, because the clown does not know.....perry was awkward and like cain his anwers lacked depth.....bachmann remains a clumsey representation of conservatism and huntsman is a liberal plant.....
