A Neighborhood Research poll of likely Iowa caucus voters released this week found Mike Huckabee once again leading the pack, while Donald Trump placed a surprising third place, ahead of big-name GOPers including Sarah Palin and Newt Gingrich.
That affirms previous polls that have shown Huckabee comfortably leading all comers in Iowa, which holds the nation’s first — and therefore highly important — primary nominating contest. And it seems to show that Trump, the eccentric business tycoon who has recently made some noise about a possible presidential bid, may be a viable candidate after all.
The poll is the second one this week to show Trump running strong in an early primary contest. Yesterday, a PPP poll showed Trump placing second in the New Hampshire primary, just six points behind Romney.
