President 2012 New Jersey Poll Watch: Mike Huckabee Running Even with President Obama
According to the latest Farleigh Dickinson Poll.
For the GOP Nomination:
- Mike Huckabee – 21%
- Mitt Romney – 20%
- Sarah Palin – 12%
- Chris Christie – 10%
- Newt Gingrich – 10%
- Tim Pawlenty – 5%
Head to Head with the President:
- Obama – 46% Vs. Huckabee – 46%
- Obama – 44% Vs. Romney – 43%
- Obama – 46% Vs. Christie – 40%
- Obama – 54% Vs. Palin – 34%
- Obama – 52% Vs. Gingrich – 37%
- Obama – 48% Vs. Pawlenty – 34%
Among independent voters:
Christie also shows appeal among independent voters. While Palin runs behind Obama 34%-52% among independents, Christie runs ahead of Obama with independents 43%-40%. Similarly, Gingrich loses to the president 40%-45% among independents, and Pawlenty comes in behind by 33%-41%. “Christie can appeal to voters beyond the party base in a way that some other big-name Republicans can’t and won’t,” Woolley added.
An interesting poilling result in what is generally considered a deep blue state. Mike Huckabee again is polling well whereas Sarah Palin is NOT.
I wonder if Mike Huckabee might be reconsidering his seeming ambivalence to running for the Presidency?
Exit question: How well would Mike Huckabee poll if Sarah Palin declared she was NOT a canddate?
