Mike Huckabee and Hillary Clinton are leading the way among Republicans and Democrats in Iowa in the latest poll on the 2016 presidential primary.
If the Republican presidential caucus were held now, Mike Huckabee would win 21 percent of the vote in Iowa; Clinton would win 53 percent, according to a new CNN/ORC poll.
Rep. Paul Ryan, at 12 percent, is on Huckabee’s heels, followed by Rand Paul (7 percent), Jeb Bush (6 percent) and Chris Christie (6 percent). Fifteen percent had no opinion.
Clinton far outpaced other potential Democrats. Her next closet challenger was Vice President Joe Biden at 15 percent. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (7 percent) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (5 percent) followed Biden. Twelve percent had no opinion.
The poll, taken Sept. 8-10, sampled 1,000 Iowa adults, or about 600 likely voters.
