I don’t see anyplace on that poll whether these are likely voters. In general, these polls ask an “approval” question, and because of it being an open poll and not of likely voters, it is really a positive recognition poll. Huck has had a tv show for years now, and he is positively received.
However, I’d be interested more in a hard question put to likely voters: “Which republican candidate would you prefer to be president?” Offer no names and make it open-ended.
I was open and asked for any addition data.
These are early days but it will boil down to Huckabee going the distance while some will futilely boil up about it.
The attitude of some people in regards to Huckabee freely running for President as if he has no legitimate right to do so is both dark and appalling. Disgraceful, especially on Memorial Day.
