PPP Polling: Huckabee leads but is losing ground in North Carolina

In the presidential contest, Mitt Romney has jumped into a second-place tie with Newt Gingrich, at 18%, but both still trail last month’s returning leader, Mike Huckabee, who has declined from 27% to 24%. Sarah Palin remains at 16%, now in fourth instead of third place.

In January, Romney had only 11% of the vote. Way back, with no more than
a third of the frontrunners’ support, are Ron Paul (6%), Tim Pawlenty (5%), Mitch Daniels (2%), and John Thune (1%), who has since declared he will not run for president. 11% are undecided or favor an unnamed option.

Favorable/Unfavorable/Not sure:

Mike Huckabee 68/19/14 (+49)
Sarah Palin 69/24/7 (+45)
Mitt Romney 56/24/20 (+32)
Newt Gingrich 55/25/20 (+30)
