    Huckabee's Numbers Falling FAST!!!!!

    HEY EVERYONE. LOOK HOW HUCKABEE'S NUMBERS ARE FALLING.........ACTUALLY, THEY APPEAR TO BE IN FREE-FALL!!!!!!!!!!

    Republican Iowa Caucus

    Iowa: Huckabee 28% Romney 27%

    Wednesday, December 19, 2007

    When Mike Huckabee first began to gain ground in the race for the Republican Presidential nomination, many dismissed him. Then, pundits began analyzing which other candidate might benefit from the Huckaboom. Finally, people began treating Huckabee as if he was a candidate with a serious chance of winning the nomination.

    That’s when the other candidates for the GOP nomination began pushing back, hard. Over the past week, Iowa voters have learned a lot about Mike Huckabee and not all of it has been flattering. Favorable opinions of Huckabee have dropped from 81% to 67% over the past week and the Huckabee tide has receded a bit. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Iowa’s Likely Caucus Participants shows that Huckabee and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney are now essentially tied for the lead in the state that will vote first in 2008.

    It’s now Huckabee 28%, Romney 27%, and the man endorsed by the Des Moines Register, John McCain, in third at 14%. No other Republican candidate reaches double digits. Before the attacks on Huckabee’s record began to have an impact, the former Arkansas Governor enjoyed a double digit lead in the previous Rasmussen Reports poll. The current results place Huckabee at the same level of support that he had in late November, when he first moved ahead of Romney.

    This is the second Rasmussen Reports poll released this week to show Huckabee losing his lead and falling back into a tie with Romney. In South Carolina, both Huckabee and Romney now earn 33% of the vote. Earlier in the month, Huckabee had opened up a seven point lead. However, while the Huckabee tide may have pulled back from its high water mark in the earliest voting states, it continues to be felt around the country. Nationally, Huckabee still leads in the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll. In Missouri, Huckabee holds a two-point edge over Hillary Clinton in a general election match-up at the same time Clinton holds a six-point edge over Giuliani.

    The bounce for McCain in Iowa comes after the Des Moines Register endorsed the Arizona Senator last weekend. McCain has spent very little time in the state so far and has little or no organization in Iowa. It remains to be seen whether he can translate the current bounce into a solid showing on January 3. However, McCain also picked up endorsements from Senator Joe Liberman and the Boston Globe. New data released today shows that those endorsements have helped McCain close to within a few points of Romney for the lead in New Hampshire.

    New polling released today in the Democratic race shows Hillary Clinton with very slight leads in both Iowa and New Hampshire.

    As a practical matter, it is impossible to project a winner based for either party in Iowa based upon available polling data. All polling for caucus events presents challenges in determining who is likely to show up and participate. This year’s Iowa caucus presents even more difficulties because of the January 3 date. It will be difficult to obtain reliable polling during the upcoming holiday period. Historically, large numbers of Iowa caucus participants make up their minds in the final two weeks.

    In conducting and analyzing this survey, Rasmussen Reports reviewed results for many possible levels of turnout. While the results varied modestly depending upon the turnout model, the overall dynamic was the same in all cases—Huckabee and Romney are essentially even, McCain is a distant third, and nobody else is close. See information on screening questions and the sample used in this telephone survey.

    Forty-nine percent (49%) of Evangelical Christians now support Hucakbee in Iowa. While still a very high level of support, it’s down from 62% a week ago.

    Among other Protestant voters, Huckabee now earns 17% support, down from 33%. Romney attracts a plurality of these Protestant voters with 30% support and McCain earns 18% of their vote.

    Romney leads Huckabee among men but trails among women. Among those who have participated in the caucuses before, it’s all even--Huckabee 26% and Romney 26%.

    Sixty-two percent (62%) of Likely Caucus participants say they are certain they will not change their mind before January 3. That includes 65% of Huckabee supporters, 58% of those who prefer Romney, and 55% of McCain voters.

    Among those who say there’s a good chance they could change their mind, Thompson and Huckabee top the second choice list.

    Among those likely to take part in the Iowa Republican caucuses, 67% now have a favorable opinion of Huckabee. That’s down from 81% a week ago and 76% in late November. The number with a Very Favorable opinion has fallen from 51% to 38% over the past week.

    Romney is viewed favorably by 73%, Thompson by 77%, and McCain by 63%. That last figure reflects a six-point gain for McCain.

    Just 58% now have a favorable opinion of Giuliani. That reflects a continuing downward trend from 74% a month ago.
