Fascinating presidential poll

Just studied this national poll a bit. Especially outstanding:

1) I posted a while back on Hillary Clinton's negatives. This poll records them: 50% of adults hold an unfavorable opinion of her. How in the world can she get elected president if the general election hasn't even started and her unfavorable rating is already 50%?

2) Huckabee is now #2 nationally among Republicans. Last poll, he was in 5th place. Talk about meteoric--I can't recall the like. Bizarre election.

3) Huckabee has a 17-point spread between his "favorable" and "unfavorable" ratings (33% and 16% respectively).

4) Perhaps most importantly, Huckabee is still unknown by 33% of the electorate. If they, as they learn about him, mirror the electorate who have heard of him, his rise will only continue.

OK, back to teaching . . .
