Americans favor limited U.S. role in Afghanistan: Reuters Poll

ARLINGTON, Virginia (Reuters) – Newt Gingrich ended his run for U.S. president on Wednesday after dazzling in televised debates but slumping to defeat in Republican primaries under a barrage of attack ads portraying him as a Washington insider.

Voting laws passed by Republican-led legislatures in a dozen states during the past year have sharply restricted voter-registration drives that typically target young, low-income, African-American and Hispanic voters – groups that have backed the Democratic president by wide margins.
