Huckabee Tied with Obama in New National Poll; Romney only One-Point Back

A new Fairleigh Dickinson University Poll out today shows a dead heat nationally between President Obama and Gov. Mike Huckabee. Both garnered 46% of the vote in the survey. Gov. Mitt Romney only trailed Obama by one point, 44%-43%. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie – who has repeatedly said he will not run – is within six-points of Obama at 46%-40%. In our average of polls since February 15, Huckabee now trails Obama by only 1.7%, with Romney 4.3% behind.

It’s hard to not notice how poorly Gov. Sarah Palin is showing in poll after poll, both national surveys and state polls. She is now 15.4 points back of Obama in the average of national polls.
