Huckabee now leads in South Carolina according to a CNN Poll. He is on top of the Republican field with 24% of the vote. This is a far cry form the bottom feeding 3% he was registering in July. Maybe its his Christian roots but according to the poll people believe he is telling the truth. Even Ron Paul is making his mark coming in at a respectable 11% only 5% behind Rudy Giuliani who was the leader in July. Fred Thompson, a Southern candidate is second with 18%. This is a remarkable turnaround for Huckabee but will this trend continue as South Carolina Republicans tend to be Christian conservatives which is the Huckabee’s base of strength. He is also the former Governor from nearby Arkansas which is probably also helping him.
