Interestingly,
Huckabee and Romney also have the lowest negatives–under double digits, and
less than half of Palin, Huckabee, or Pawlenty; as in:


8% Huckabee

9% Romney

20% Gingrich

21% Palin


28% Pawlenty
5% So
me other candidate
9% Not sure


My sense is that Palin’s votes go to Huck, Gingrich’s to Mitt, and Pawlenty’s are split between the two. That would put Huckabee over Romney by 49-40. Don’t think this won’t be a donnybrook.

Update: Rasmussen has released the head-to-head result, showing Huckabee over Romney  44 percent to 39 percent.
