Mike Huckabee can beat Hillary!
A recent poll by Zogby shows that Mike Huckabee would beat out Hillary by a solid margin of 44.3 percent to 38.5 percent.
This national Zogby poll of nearly 10,000 people — about equally divided between Democrats and Republicans, with about one-quarter independents — is more bad news for longtime front-runner Clinton. It shows that she’s slipping not only in Iowa and several other early caucus or primary states, but across the country as well.
Asked whom they would choose in a race between Giuliani and Clinton, 43 percent of respondents said Giuliani and 39.4 percent chose Clinton, with 14.6 percent opting for “someone else” and 3 percent selecting “will not vote/not sure.”
Romney outpolled Clinton by a margin of 43.1 percent to 39.9 percent; Thompson beat out Hillary by a similar margin, 43.2 percent to 39.6 percent; and Mike Huckabee bested Clinton by a solid margin of 44.3 percent to 38.5 percent.
McCain, who trailed Clinton 45 percent to 43 percent in a July Zogby poll, has pulled ahead of the Democrat in the new poll, winning 42.1 of the vote compared to Clinton’s 37.6 percent.

FWIW:
“Our results have found that Hillary Clinton would beat Rudy Giuliani, 291 electoral votes to 216. But John McCain would beat Hillary Clinton 308 electoral votes to 214. According to that, you would say that John McCain is the most electable Republican but if he was pitted against John Edwards in a general election, it would be a dog fight in which Edwards has a lead 234 electoral votes to 228 electoral votes in states we have polls for such a matchup.
We even predicted the outcomes of a hypothetical Hillary Clinton and Ron Paul matchup derived from the latest state polls. Hillary Clinton wins 284 electoral votes to 172. Against Fred Thompson, Clinton would win 284 to 221. “

No data given for Clinton vs. Huckabee.

They don’t poll, they just analyize other polls.
I think the only reason Huckabee beats Hillary is because she hasn’t paid any attention to him — YET. But if he would capture the R nomination, she’d demolish him.
