Poll: Huckabee would lose to top Democrats by double digits

[skipos]

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- While presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee is surging in new polls of GOP candidates, a CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll released Tuesday shows he would lose to all three leading Democratic candidates by double digits in hypothetical contests.

In head-to-head matchups -- the first to include Huckabee -- the former Arkansas governor loses to Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York by 10 percentage points (54 percent to 44 percent), to Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois by 15 points (55 percent to 40 percent) and to former Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina by 25 points (60 percent to 35 percent).

The poll comes on the heels of a CNN/Opinion Research poll released Monday that showed Huckabee doubled his support nationally among likely Republican voters in the last month and is in a statistical dead heat with former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

1. Good. I hope they commit political suicide by nominating

him. We need to win by a convincing margin. If it's close enough to steal, they will.

2. More publicity he gets, more public may realize how crazy Repubs are n/t

3. They'd better go with McCain. He still polls the best against us.

And sometimes he's sane, and remembers where he is.

4. Just as Rudy pisses off the Jesus-nut southern "Social Conservatives"

Huckabee pisses off the Northern bottom-line-focused "Fiscal Conservatives". (The ones you can actually hold a conversation with I may add.)

It's really kind of hilarious.

5. ANY republican will lose by a landslide in 2008

6. He's Alan Keyes with a Folksy Southern Accent.

Mike Huckabee is probably one of the greatest debaters I have ever seen in my life. Even though he is extreme right wing, he is such a good speaker, he manages to seem like an decent man in the debates. Of course it is all bullshit, but I hope he pulls it off and wins the primaries so we can expose him and win by 15-20 percent.
