Title: PPP: Obama leads Huckabee by 3, Romney by 5, Palin by 12 and Jeb Bush by 14 Post by: DrScholl on February 16, 2011, 11:28:17 AM http://publicpolicypolling.blogspot.com/2011/02/obama-vulnerable.html
Obama 47 Huckabee 44 Obama 46 Romney 41 Obama 49 Gingrich 40 Obama 48 Paul 39 Obama 52 Palin 40 Obama 50 Bush 36 Obama 48 Trump 34 Palin outperforming Jeb Bush is quite hilarious. A generic moderate Republican leads Obama by two, but clearly the GOP doesn't have a candidate like that.

It says something about the republican field when one of their least popular presidents (since Nixon basically) is doing better than almost all of them, and even then only doing a single point worse than Huckabee.

If they could ever break out and get some big attention, they could be formidable opponents to Obama.
Of course, breaking out means winning one of the first four (IA, NH, NV, SC) and that seems very unlikely unless Romney just crumbles. Title: Re: PPP: Obama leads Huckabee by 3, Romney by 5, Palin by 12 and Jeb Bush by 14 Post by: memphis on February 16, 2011, 04:13:39 PM GOPfail.

Of course, breaking out means winning one of the first four (IA, NH, NV, SC) and that seems very unlikely unless Romney just crumbles. It depends. If Huckabee or even Palin is running, then I wouldn't bet on a darkhorse. Huckabee would win Iowa (or if he isn't running, Palin would), Romney wins New Hampshire and then Nevada, and South Carolina will almost certainly go to Huckabee or Palin, depending on which one won Iowa. There would be no room for anybody else. If those two aren't running, then one of the unknowns going to emerge as the conservative candidate in Iowa. (much like Huckabee in 2008).

I'd think that he would get below 40 percent in WA, OR, CA, PA, NJ, MA, ME, VT, NH, CT, RI, NJ, MD, DE, VA, IL, IA, MN, WI, NV, and CO.

Huckabee has charisma, which is a huge factor in winning for any candidate. If he were less extreme & Obama were less charismatic, Huckabee would be leading comfortably.

If he were less extreme & Obama were less charismatic, Huckabee would be leading comfortably. It would help if he weren't so awful looking and had a better voice, better presence, etc. |
