That’s probably 35% of Democrats for Hillary and 8% of Republicans for Huckabee before his recent climatic surge in the polls. One rationally can assume that the overwhelming majority of Arkansans possess enough familiarity with the two Presidential candidates who hail from their state (former First Lady and Governor no less) to opine about them. This poll is worthless.
My read from the story is that it was a hypothetical general election matchup. If it's comparing the share of the two in their separate and respective primaries, then it's like comparing apples and plankton -- it's meaningless.
This poll is worthless.
Or, at least, the reporting of it is. If this is a general election poll, it leaves 57% of the electorate unaccounted for. It it's two primary polls, it's meaningless because they are not -- as yet -- competing with each other. It's like comparing American League and National League stats in the regular season, when the games are played under different rules. The World Series determines the outcome.
