Huckabee is the Republican candidate who is gaining serious ground in popularity. Not Paul.

Many of these polls are BS. Does anyone actually examine their polling methods? I saw this Penn and Teller Bullshit about polling methods-

There are many ways to manipulate the numbers. And I believe they are only polling republicans who voted Republican in the last election (aka for GWB) which means, I could care less about who those people vote for. I have heard that they also only call LAN phone lines (no cell phones). More skewered stats.
I would really like to see the actual question they asked, how the people were allowed to respond (was someone's name mentioned first or was the list randomized?), and more details on the poll. This gallop poll is supposedly "scientific" but it looks like a black box to me.
