March 3rd, 2011 - 4:56 pm ICT by ANI
Washington, Mar 3(ANI): A new poll has found that potential Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee continues to edge out his potential 2012 rivals in next year’s Iowa caucuses.
The Wall Street Journal/NBC News survey released on Wednesday showed Huckabee winning 25 percent of likely Republican voters, followed closely by former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney at 21 percent.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich has garnered 13 percent of the vote and former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin 12 percent, but no other GOP hopeful tops single-digits.
President Barack Obama continues to be well-positioned against his potential GOP rivals, leading Romney 49 percent to 40 percent, Politico reports.
Forty-eight percent of voters nationally approve of the President’ performance, and 46 percent disapprove.
The poll has a sampling error of plus or minus 3.1 percent. (ANI)
