Rasmussen is reporting that former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee is continuing to rise in the national poll of Republican candidates:
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows—for the first time ever–Mike Huckabee moving into the top four among those seeking the Republican Presidential Nomination.
Rudy Giuliani remains precariously atop the pack with support from 20% of Likely Republican Primary Voters nationwide. Fred Thompson is close behind at 19% while John McCain enjoys a second straight day in third place with 14% of the vote. Huckabee continues to gain ground and is just two points behind McCain at 12%. This is the first time all year that Huckabee has surpassed Mitt Romney. The former Massachusetts Governor slipped another point and he is now at just 11% nationally. No other Republican attracts more than 3% support while 18% are undecided.
On the state level, Huckabee is also moving forward in Iowa, where he is in third place and very close behind Fred Thompson. If these numbers hold up, you can expect Huckabee to start getting more attention from the press notwithstanding the fact that he has almost no money to run a campaign with.
On another note, over at The Liberty Papers, I point out why Huckabee shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near the 2008 Republican ticket.
