PPP: Huckabee Tops Obama, Entire GOP Field

Public Policy Polling (D) has their latest monthly 2012 poll results — and it is all great news for Huckabee. He is the only member of the GOP field to top Obama in a head-to-head matchup, the only Republican to beat Obama among independents, and the only Republican with positive favorability ratings. He also pulls nearly 1 out of 5 Democrat votes. Across the board, it is a dominating showing for the Governor:

Mike Huckabee is the only possible GOP contender polling ahead of Obama this month, at 47/44. Going from arguably most pleasant to most angry across the spectrum of leading Republicans you then have Obama ahead of Mitt Romney 46-43, Newt Gingrich 47-43, Sarah Palin 49-43, and Glenn Beck 48-39.

Huckabee is the only candidate we polled this month to post positive favorability numbers, at 35/32. That's because he's relatively inoffensive to Democrats with only 44% having an unfavorable opinion of him. Mitt Romney's favorability numbers are only slightly negative at 33/35. The rest of the GOP folks are highly unpopular with Beck's favorability at 31/41, Palin's at 38/52, and Gingrich's at 30/50.

  1. We need Huckabee to run in order to defeat President Obama.

    It was so interesting to learn that 1 out of 5 Democrats would vote for Huckabee, along with many Independents.

    But it sounds like we also need to get his name recognition up from #4, behind Romney's #3. How do you think we can do that?

    Thanks so much for your news reports and comments, Alex.

  2. I couldn't agree more, Grace. I truly believe that Mike Huckabee is the only potential Presidential candidate who can defeat Barack Obama. He relates to all and listens to all. He does not agree with all obviously, but at least he listens and shows respect. We appreciate you, Mike!

  3. Confirms what we already knew. We NEED Governor Huckabee to run this next election and he is the ONE to beat Obama....Should have had him in the HOUSE in 2008...the WHITE HOUSE, I mean.
