New CNN 2012 Poll: Looking Up For Obama, Huckabee; Down For Palin

CNN has released the results of a new poll about the 2012 election. The poll was taken December 17-19. Things are looking up for President Barack Obama:

According to a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Tuesday, 78 percent of Democrats questioned in the poll say they want to see Obama at the top of their party's ticket in 2012, with only 19 percent saying they would prefer someone else as the Democratic presidential nominee. The 19 percent figure is the lowest figure since March, when the question was first asked.

But for Sarah Palin, just 49% of GOP respondents support her as their nominee, down 18% from two years ago. As for the rest of the field, it's looking good for Mike Huckabee:

Two-thirds of Republicans questioned say they would likely support Huckabee as their nominee in 2012. The former Arkansas governor and 2008 GOP presidential candidate is considering another bid for the White House. So is another candidate from the last election, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. Fifty-nine percent of Republicans say they would likely support Romney. That number drops to 54 percent for former House Speaker Newt Gingrich of Georgia, who is also contemplating a run for the White House.
