Your national poll leader in the GOP primary, according to Rasmussen’s daily tracking poll (which can, admittedly, bounce around a lot): Mike Huckabee.
Three points up on Rudy.
In other poll news about Huckabee (when you’re surging, you’re the subject of a lot more news) Gallup lists 10 things about Mike Huckabee. Apparently they’ve taken on one of David Letterman’s striking writers. The last six seem the most notable:
5. Huckabee’s share of the national Republican primary vote is now larger than Romney has been able to obtain in any national Gallup poll this year.
6. Huckabee’s name ID among Democrats is 41%, split evenly positive and negative.
7. Huckabee’s favorable ratings are no higher among Americans who have attempted to lose weight at some point in their life than among those who have not.
8. When asked last week what comes to mind they when they think about “former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee”, 65% of Americans could think of nothing to say.
9. The top five responses among those who did associate something with Huckabee: 1. I like him 2. He is a rising star, becoming more popular 3. Christian values, religious 4. Down to earth, nice guy 5. Conservative
10. One percent of Americans say Huckabee is amusing and funny. One percent say that “Chuck Norris” comes to mind when they think of Huckabee.
Next time, Gallup should see that what percent say that when they think of Chuck Norris, they think of Huckabee.
