Poll: Huckabee, Romney Even with Obama

Many political experts say there is a good chance that President Barack Obama will be a one-term president. And a new poll from Quinnipiac University gives credence to that view. The survey shows that Obama is pretty much even in support with former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, The Hill reports.

Romney ekes out Obama among registered voters by one percentage point, 45 to 44 percent, while Obama barely leads Huckabee 46 to 44 percent. Surprisingly Obama leads former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin by eight percentage points 48 to 40 percent, though obviously she has two years to wipe out that gap if she decides to run.

Republicans are clearly undecided about who their nominee will be at this point. Palin leads the field with only 19 percent support, followed by 18 percent for Romney and 17 percent for Huckabee.
