IA-08: Obama and Huckabee way ahead in new poll

After six years of closed government, after more than two decades of have two families run our government, it comes as no surprise that voters in Iowa on both sides favor populist candidates.

Obama is out in front for the Democrats:

Likely Democratic Iowa Caucus-goers
Barack Obama - 35%
Hillary Clinton - 29%
John Edwards - 18%

Now for the Republicans:

Likely Republican Iowa Caucus-goers
Mike Huckabee - 39%
Mitt Romney - 17%
Fred Thompson - 10%
Rudolph Giuliani - 9%
John McCain - 6%

Comments

I dont understand how McCain sits at 6%. He's easily the most qualified Republican regardless of how much he campaigns in Iowa. And how does Thompson get 10%? What has he done lately, or ever?

Obama is a great candidate. Hillary won't make up the ground she loses to him.

The only reason I can see that John McCain never does well is that he is not a Religious Nut. He is a decent, honorable man. He would make an excellent president.

I think it is good for Obama that Huckabee is doing well on the GOP side. "Huh?" you ask with a furrowed brow. Well, for the simple fact that Huck is a populist candidate. So is Barack. It is another indication that this country is ready for a populist "outside the bun" candidate. GOP, Repub, doesn't matter.

Obama is going to win Iowa. However, my gut tells me that Hillarbeast will prevail and clearly win the nomination. She is the establishment candidate and they always win.
Stinks doesn't it?
