Final Iowa polls: Obama/Huckabee
In less than 72 hours a few hundred thousand Iowans will get together and start caucusing. They will decide for the rest of us who the candidates will likely be in the upcoming presidential election. Here’s hoping they choose well.
Poll Says Obama, Huckabee Leading Rivals
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Presidential contenders rang in the 2008 election year with near-constant campaigning on Monday as a poll showed Democrat Barack Obama and Republican Mike Huckabee leading their rivals with three days remaining before the Iowa caucuses. Anonymous phone calls and a negative campaign commercial that vanished into thin air also spiced the race, and not even New Year’s Eve was off-limits to campaign oratory.
The poll by the Des Moines Register showed Obama, an Illinois senator, with the support of 32 percent of those surveyed, compared to 25 percent for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York and 24 percent for former Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina.
Among Republicans, Huckabee, a former Arkansas governor, had the backing of 32 percent of those surveyed, and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney had 26 percent.
We shall see.
Here are what appear to be the DMV photos of the two leaders:
