CNN poll: Huckabee loses to top 3 Dems by double digits!

Yeah, I know... its a poll. But I find this Huckabee bit comforting. It also has new match-ups for everyone (for whatever they're worth).

Poll: Huckabee would lose to top Democrats by double digits

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).

(snip)

The poll also shows that Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona would do best against leading Democrats. He beats Clinton by 2 percentage points (50 percent to 48 percent), ties Obama (48 percent to 48 percent) and loses to Edwards by a smaller margin (8 points) than the other Republican candidates do.

In addition to Huckabee, Giuliani and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney lose to all three top Democrats in the survey.

On the Democratic side, Edwards performs best against each of the leading Republicans. In addition to beating Huckabee by 25 percent and McCain by 8 percent, the North Carolina Democrat beats Romney by 22 percentage points (59 percent to 37 percent) and Giuliani by 9 percentage points (53 percent to 44 percent).

3. It's about time
The media got something right:

On the Democratic side, Edwards performs best against each of the leading Republicans. In addition to beating Huckabee by 25 percent and McCain by 8 percent, the North Carolina Democrat beats Romney by 22 percentage points (59 percent to 37 percent) and Giuliani by 9 percentage points (53 percent to 44 percent).

Edwards has out polled all the other dems for months, but the media seems to "omit" that when they report on the "Rudy, Hillary" race, or the "Obama, Hillary" race for the nomination. I hope some of the other news networks start telling it like it is also!

6. I have no doubt all GOP-ers would do the same. Any different result is a manipulation.
I am thinking this poll came out because Huckabee's competitors needed ammunition. Good thing too!
Personally, I think that in an honest election, Gravel would beat any GOP-er - with all his lack of coverage.

8. I think it would be closer than it says here.
in all match ups. People don't know who some of the candidates are right now. It would tighten at least some.
