LITTLE ROCK, AR – A second Rasmussen Research Poll of likely Republican primary voters released Friday shows Mike Huckabee continuing to gain momentum nationally, surpassing Mitt Romney in the polls and coming within striking distance of John McCain
Today's Rasmussen poll numbers show Rudy Giuliani leading nationally with 20%, followed by Fred Thompson at 19%, McCain at 14%, and Huckabee at 12% -- surging past Romney, who has 11%.
"What we're seeing is the power of message over money and mechanics," said Huckabee. "Our supporters are enthusiastic because they believe in my conservative message."
While the other so-called "top tier" candidates have spent millions of dollars, Huckabee's campaign has spent just $1.5 million dollars, he said.
