Clinton beats Huckabee by 8%, Obama beats Huckabee by 16%

Remember when DUers were claiming Huckabee would DOOOOOOOM us? (If you forgot, it was a few months after DUers were claiming Thompson would DOOOOOM us, and several months after DUers were claiming Giuliani would DOOOOOOOM us).
Now the guy looks like he is done winning primaries. Anyway, for your polling pleasure...

A new Rasmussen Reports survey shows Senator Barack Obama surging past former Governor Mike Huckabee by 51% to 35% among likely voters. Senator Hillary Clinton also leads Huckabee, but by only eight points, 48% to 40%.

In early January and in December, Obama led Huckabee by only a few points in our polling. In five previous surveys conducted between November 2006 and November 2007, however, Obama led by anywhere from nine points to 20 points (see history and trends).

By contrast, even when Huckabee was relatively unknown to voters, Clinton's lead over him never exceeded eight percentage points. Since May of 2007, Huckabee has always reached at least 40% support in match-ups with her (see history and trends). In the January 10 survey Huckabee managed a three-point lead over the former First Lady, but in every other case he has trailed.

And McCain was always going to be their nominee.

All those southern states you go on about Obama winning just fall to pieces if Obama's the opponent but Clinton does much better there against Huckabee, who would have guessed.

So do yourself a favour and research first and you've been trying to score points on this and i caught you out today on a Califonia poll over a week old that got put in its place.

Also if Huckabee is the nominee, Obama loses in Kansas and Hillary wins in Kansas which is a surprise to me. She also does much better than Obama against Romney in vital states.

"all those southern states you go on about Obama winning?"
Thanks.

"i caught you out today on a Califonia poll over a week old that got put in its place."
That is AWESOME! You "caught" me posting a poll that has the date on it on the top of the post. What a detective you are! How much money do you get for such skills?

Since you think any Hillary is going to win Kansas can you head over to intrade.com so we can bet on this? I love taking money from idiots over there, and you must make a lot as a DU detective.

And jut so you don't think I am hiding some bias...
Hillary Clinton is the worst candidate to seek the nomination in many election cycles.
Now you don't have to do your incredible detective work to see who I support. Your welcome! :hi:

Both are national security lightweights so that race would be won on other issues.

and uniting behind our candidate, regardless of which one. We cannot let a "spring time scrimmage" take our eye off the "big game" this fall.

he's done, I think!

Even many evangelicals thought he was nuts.
