They Like Mike (Huckabee)
The results of a Washington Post poll:
27. (ASKED OF REPUBLICANS AND GOP-LEANING INDEPENDENTS) If the 2012 Republican presidential primary or caucus in your state were being held today, and the candidates were (READ LIST) for whom would you vote?
Mike Huckabee 26%
Mitt Romney 21%
Sarah Palin 19%
Newt Gingrich 10%
Tim Pawlenty 4%
Jeb Bush 3%
Haley Barbour 1%
Bobby Jindal (vol.) 2%
Charlie Crist (vol.) *
It's only 2009, but Huckabee is slowly beginning to edge ahead in some polls.
A recent poll also had him closer than any other Republican to Obama in a head-to-head race, trailing 48-42. Last month he trailed by seven points. Edging closer.

That 19% of those polled would choose Sarah "Barraquitter" Palin, speaks volumes.
That shows a drop in her support, which I think will continue. It takes time for changes to settle in.
FWIW, a poll earlier this week showed a 45-44 split between Obama and Romney going head-to-head in 2012.
Rich - did that poll also include Huckabee?
Ugh - I live in MA and Romney was a horrible governor. When I pay someone to do a job I expect him to stick around and do it, not be running all over the country making fun of the state that he governs on our dime. The man may have some beliefs, but it's hard to tell what they are, as they change with the shifting winds.
No, Lee. I believe it was a head-to-head/matchup poll.
