Poll shows Huckabee with slim lead over Obama in theoretical 2012 face-off

[proud2BlibKansan]

A survey released Friday by a liberal pollster showed former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) in a dead heat with President Barack Obama in the 2012 presidential race.

It's the first time Obama has not held a lead in Public Policy Polling's (PPP) monthly presidential tracking poll.

Huckabee led Obama by a slim, one percent margin 45-44. The poll has a margin of error of 2.8 percent.

But it's not clear if Huckabee, now a Fox News host, will enter the race. Huckabee received a spate of negative attention after it was revealed in November he granted clemency to a man who later shot dead several police officers in Washington State.
