Iowa poll: Huckabee tops GOP field… by a lot

More evidence surfaced on Friday which proves conclusively that the 2016 presidential race is not upon us. At the very least, the “invisible primary” remains perfectly invisible for now.

On Friday, a CNN/ORC poll was released which misled its readers into thinking that the presidential race is on in the Hawkeye State. That survey revealed that the campaign is a rather predictable one on the Democratic side. The state which rejected Clinton in 2008 is now prepared to embrace her. At least, 53 percent of Iowa Democrats are prepared to make that leap. Another 15 percent of Democrats back Vice President Joe Biden for the nomination, while 7 percent and 5 percent support Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Bernie Sanders (I-VT) respectively.

The political landscape is a little more fluid on the Republican side. But while the slate of prospective Republicans is wider and more competitive, one man bestrides the field like a colossus.

“Mike Huckabee nearly laps the field with 21% of all registered Republicans contacted in the poll saying they would support the former Arkansas governor if the 2016 Iowa caucuses were held today,” CNN reported.

Paul Ryan is second with 12%, and there is a cadre of politicians — including Sen. Rand Paul, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie — with support in the single digits.

Huckabee and Ryan are getting similar support with men — 15% and 16%, respectively — but it is with women that the former Arkansas governor jumps ahead of the congressman.

Interestingly, Huckabee performs far better than does Ryan at this stage of the race among Republican women. 27 percent of GOP-leaning women back Huckabee’s imaginary presidential bid while only 8 percent support Ryan’s equally nonexistent campaign.

No offense to Huckabee (I like him, and I am not here to insult him when I say...)

WHY DO WE GIVE THOSE NUTCASE, CORNPONE, DOPES IN IOWA THE PRIVILEGE OF BEING FIRST EACH ELECTION CYCLE?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Switch it up every 4 years, and stop giving these wangers such importance.

Iowa is a pissy little state that thinks it has influence. I mean, what can you say about a state that habitually returned a lunatic like Tom Harkin to the U.S. Senate?

Iowa is like the kid in high school who was such a doofus that his classmates elected him class president as a joke.

Only highlighting how utterly worthless polls are at this point.

Dear Huckabee and Santorum supporters: Jesus may love you, but everyone else thinks you are morons.

Huckabee should be disqualified from office simply for posing for this hideous picture. Everytime I look at those shirts, I feel dizzy and have to hold on to something to keep from falling down.

Also, if you see one of those boys heading into an elevator, you might want to take the stairs.

Once again the THOUSANDS OF FELONS that Huckabee released, over the VIBRANT OBJECTIONS of law enforcement will be talked about...and once again Huckabee will be sent back to talk radio.

So, nothing to worry about.
