New poll numbers from the American Research Group reveal significant improvement in former Gov. Mike Huckabee’s standing in Iowa, bouncing to 14% support after the Iowa Republican Straw Poll earlier this month. ARG’s polling indicated that Huckabee had the support of only 1% of Iowa Republican caucus-goers last month.
While the ARG’s likely caucus-goer screen is notoriously loose, this is undoubtedly good news for the Huckabee campaign. The poll puts Huckabee in third place in Iowa, behind Romney at 27% and Giuliani at 17%. Huckabee beats Fred Thompson (13%), Newt Gingrich (7%), and John McCain (5%).
Notably for Huckabee, Kansas Sen. Sam Brownback and Colorado Rep. Tom Tancredo receive no discernible support in the ARG poll. Ron Paul, on the other hand, receives 1% support in Iowa.
