POLL: MIKE HUCKABEE TAKES SECOND TO DONALD TRUMP
Breitbart ^ | August 26,2015 | ALEX SWOYER

Posted on 08/26/2015 10:28:41 AM PDT by Hojczyk

GOP presidential candidate Gov. Mike Huckabee is doing quite well according to two national polls conducted after the first GOP presidential primary debate.

One poll has Huckabee in second place behind GOP frontrunner Donald Trump and another poll has Huckabee listed with the highest favorability rating among 15 GOP presidential candidates; however, former neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson takes the highest net favorability rating when comparing the results in totality.

A Reuters-Ipsos poll conducted August 21-25 has Huckabee in second behind Trump – the only two candidates with double digits in that poll:

Donald Trump – 30.1 percent

Mike Huckabee – 10.4 percent

Jeb Bush – 8.3 percent

Ben Carson – 8 percent

Scott Walker – 6.7 percent

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)80% – 5.1 percent

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)96% – 4.4 percent

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY)93% – 3.9 percent

Carly Fiorina – 3.8 percent

John Kasich – 2.7 percent

Chris Christie – 2.5 percent

Rick Perry – 2.3 percent

Bobby Jindal – 1.1 percent

Rick Santorum – 1 percent

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC)47% – 0.8 percent

This is bizarre polling, but it’s still 2015.

Glad to see most the establishment hacks at the bottom, except Jeb somehow...

I don’t trust the polls much and I think Trump and the others should not put as much faith in them because they can be manipulated. The real gauge is the crowd sizes that the candidates are bringing in.

In the political conversations I have had with people in recent months, not once has anyone mentioned Huckabee. I think the same can be observed on FR. Sure, he is mentioned occasionally in some of the posts. But if he were doing so well, I think there would be many articles with him in the headlines.

Wait til Trump deals the final knell to Ailes/MEgyn/FNC - his numbers will go even higher.

These polls are so fake. See, for example, this one that was just released, which shows ENTIRELY different results:

Polls are about driving opinion, not estimating it.

Rick Santorum was in low single digit territory when he won the Iowa Caucus last time around.

I haven’t even heard Huckabee’s name in weeks or read an article about him. Must be some BS in this poll.

Why can’t Cruz break 5% on a consistent basis?

Did Huckabee pay for that poll?

Does 2nd place even count when you are 20 points down. I mean Huck is basically within MOE of everyone else - other than Linda.

Love that Linda Graham is < 1% at 0.8%.
