Huckabee looking at the "trend of support" in making his 2016 decision

“Gov. Huckabee had a great day in Iowa Tuesday, and [the Suffolk poll] reflects what we saw on the ground,” says Chad Gallagher, executive director of Huckabee’s political action committee, HuckPAC. “While he has not made a decision on 2016, the Suffolk University poll shows a trend of support that is vital in the decision-making process.”

In a recent conversation, Huckabee stressed that he will not decide whether or not to run until after this November’s elections. But in a statement after the WPA poll was released, Huckabee made clear it’s a serious possibility. “While any decision on my part is some time away, this is certainly encouraging, since I’ve not even been named in most polls, and certainly not considered an ‘insider,’ ” he said. “If I were to run, I’d certainly start in a different place than in 2008.”
