Poll Shows Huckabee Gaining Steam Across State

[brooklynite]

From NY1:

Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee has been gaining in the polls in Iowa and New Hampshire, and now he's making inroads in New York as well, according to a new Quinnipiac poll out today.

The poll finds that former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani still has a comfortable, but dwindling, lead.

Giuliani leads Huckabee 34 to 12 percent. John McCain is in third, followed by Fred Thompson, and then Mitt Romney and Ron Paul. No other candidate got more than one percent, though 18 percent of Republican voters are still undecided.

It's a big change from the last Quinnipiac poll in October, when Giuliani captured 45 percent of the vote and Huckabee was at the bottom of the pack with just one percent.

Hmm, imagine what would happen if Rudy wasn't perceived to be able to win his own state primary?

...how did Uncle Fred make it into third?
