Looking at Public Policy Polling's results, it would appear that way.
PPP has surveyed GOP primary voters in 10 states since mid-February, each has found Mitt Romney or Mike Huckabee to be the favored candidate. Sarah Palin placed second in six states, but did not finish first in any of them.
According to PPP's latest round of polls, Mike Huckabee leads in both Alabama (with 41%, over Palin's 27% and Romney's 20%) and Missouri (with 32%, over Palin's 28% and Romney's 22%).
PPP has not surveyed Republicans in Iowa or New Hampshire--the two most critical primary states--and some of the states polled might not actually play any role in deciding the Republican Party's next candidate. PPP did, however, find Mitt Romney crushing the opposition in Florida, with his 44% beating out Palin's 25% and Huckabee's 17%.
(Palin has polled well in Iowa, collecting high favorable ratings, but there hasn't been any substantial polling on the GOP 2012 primary in either Iowa or New Hampshire in recent months, that I'm aware of.)

Hunter/DeMint 2012. NO DAMN RINOS EVER AGAIN!
It’s all Sarah’s for the taking....
NO it is not.
forgot the BARF warning on this one.. If its between them dont bother....
Huckabee is a poor choice. He’s a social conservative but that’s about it. He’s pretty close to McCain in a lot of ways.
“Is 2012 a Race Between Romney and Huckabee?”
And the winner is Obama!!
I am tired of irrelevant media wonks trying to shape the electoral landscape for us. This bozo from the Atlantic can suck it. I don’t care what he thinks.
I think Romney (shivers, and not in a good way), Palin and Pawlenty will be the contenders.
If this is the case then the hell with it.
I would have to be drugged, gagged and dragged to the polls.
Blech
Yeah, but he's a sucker for jailhouse conversions.
I’d take him over flipper.
Lord, Help Us!!!!
Hopefully these two are not our only choices ... again.
We need to change the Primary System for sure.
I am hoping that Duncan Hunter tries again or even Fred Thompson, maybe even Sarah Palin at the top of the ticket. But I don’t know. Time will tell, what they do and say before November will be a ‘tell’.
One thing that needs to be changed is the Primary process itself. The RNC and DNC have skewed things so bad whatever party you align with YOU really are not making a choice cause someone else already made it.
Right now it is a system of political madness and the DNC/RNC have institutionalized it. We need changes.
We need a ‘closed primary’ and the elimination of caucuses (a very poor gauge of public opinion). We need uniform rules. Maybe even back to the days when the president might be of one party and the VP from another.
The current political process and parties ... SUCK!
Paul Ryan.
If those are our choices I’ll sit it out.
It’s all Sarah’s for the taking....
