NEWS FEED: Baltimore Reporter

“When you’re taking flak…

By Robert Farrow

By Danny Reiter, PolitickerMD.com Reporter

ST. PAUL, Minn. - Mike Huckabee is ecstatic about John McCain's choice of Gov. Sarah Palin (R-Alaska) as his running mate.

John McCain utterly flattened Mike Huckabee in almost every single demographic voting in today’s Republican primary, exit polls show.

The only exception came with those who attend religious services at least once a week – especially Protestants. Self-described Evangelical Christians (31% of the total) went for Huckabee, 52% to 35%.

Another interesting caveat: McCain easily won those who frequently or occasionally listen to conservative talk radio – estimated to be 62% of GOP primary-goers.

SurveyUSA: Huckabee gains 9% in 3 days

By Politicker Staff

Mike Huckabee is up nine points in three days according to a SurveyUSA poll of 338 likely Republican voters. John McCain is down four points at 52%, but still leading Huckabee’s 26%, by a ratio of 2:1.

The poll was conducted this weekend – during which Huckabee claimed surprising victories in Kansas and Louisiana, while coming close in Washington State. The margin of error is 5.2%.

Still, McCain leads easily with every demographic except for African Americans and Hispanics, who will makeup only a small portion of the Republican electorate.
