Huckabee leads GOP contenders in new national poll

The Hill reports:

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) is the GOP's new front-runner for the Republican nomination, according to a poll from Democratic firm Public Policy Polling.

Huckabee, who stirred controversy at last week's Republican National Committee's winter meeting with his remarks about women's libidos and birth control, has a narrow edge over other possible candidates with 16 percent support.
