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.

Here we go again. *sigh.
Iowa. Must be the water.
Taken here with a grain of salt. ORC is so Over the Rainbow Clinton it’s very funny.
I will never take an ORC poll seriously even if they do the stopped clock bit.
And for the rest of you RINOs...
So, two viewers of CNN support Chucklebee.
Get the alcohol out of the gasoline.

Exactly.

Doesn’t he support COMMON CORE ..?????
So a few hundred rubes in Iowa should determine what the entire country thinks/does?
Huckabee? CNN figures out who can’t get elected and anoints them the front runner. Subtle.
The MSM will ALWAYS tell you who they want their preferred democRat to run against.
The state of Iowa is invited to KMA.
