New Poll. Guess What? Huckabee’s Up. [Byron York]
Huge changes in the Republican race, according to a new New York Times/CBS News poll. In October, Rudy Giuliani led, with 29 percent, and Fred Thompson was his closest competitor, at 21 percent. Mike Huckabee was way, way back with four percent. But these are the new numbers:
Giuliani 22
Huckabee 21
Romney 16
McCain 7
Thompson 7The poll shows Thompson’s and McCain’s support crumbling, with Thompson falling from 21 percent to seven percent, and McCain falling from 18 percent to seven percent.
Actually, I trust this NYTrash/Dan Rather Network poll about as far as I can spit on it.

I believe that Huck is rising in the polls, based on a variety of input, but also believe that’s a false positive.
But to give any credence to a NYTs/CBS poll is just crazy talk, not even worth working up the spit it deserves.
