A new poll from
CNN/Opinion Research Corp. shows ex-Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee leading the field of potential Republican presidential candidates for 2012. Two-thirds of Republicans say they will likely support him in what would be his second straight presidential campaign.
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney
(pictured), who also ran for president in 2008, placed second at 59 percent, followed by 54 percent for former House Speaker Newt Gingrich of Georgia and 49 percent for ex-Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. The 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee has lost 18 percentage points of the support she held in December 2008, according to the survey.
