Former AR Governor Places First Among "Committed" Voters; Third Place Overall
October 07, 2007
Little Rock, AR - Former AR Governor and Presidential Candidate Mike Huckabee today "welcomed news" that a new Des Moines Register poll ranks him No. 1 among registered Republican voters in Iowa who have "made up their mind" in the 2008 presidential election - and No. 3 among GOP candidates overall.
"This victory is really good news," said Huckabee about the October 7 poll of likely caucus participants. "This poll confirms that the field is wide open - and that my campaign continues to surge among likely voters."
Huckabee scored first among the voters (about one-fourth of those polled) who have made up their mind, with 19 percent, and third place among all potential Republican voters, with 12 percent. The former Arkansas governor also scored very well among religious conservatives, coming in third with 18 percent.
Huckabee has surged since his strong showing in the Aug. 11 Iowa Republican Party Straw Poll. Support for the other GOP presidential contenders who were included in a Des Moines Register poll taken last May has essentially flat-lined or eroded.
"Voters in Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina - and all across America - are looking for a strong conservative leader with a consistent message, results-driven record and positive vision for America's future," said Huckabee. "This new poll reflects what we're feeling on the ground: that my campaign is on an upward trajectory in Iowa and other key battleground states."

I'm in Houston. You'll find me on the Huckabee blogroll in the 1st 10-12 bloggers. I've been on board since early in the year.

Way to go Mike!
Hey Larry, I am in McKinney (North of Dallas). I figured Huckabee needs as many people as possible spreading the word, so I started this blog.
I'm Jason in San Antonio. I see Huckabee winnin' this thing (the nomination).
It's very possible as long as we all pitch in and do are part to help him get the nomination. I posted yestereday that the latest gallup poll shows 65% of Americans had no opinion of Gov. Huckabee. If everyone makes an effort we can reach these people and make a difference.
