Can Huckabee win elsewhere?
By sage of monticello | January 4, 2008
A fair question given Huckabee’s win in the demographically unrepresentative Iowa.
An important consideration in answering the question may be the percentage of Christian conservatives in subsequent primary states. According the statistic below, Huckabee will have a difficultly winning primaries in other states due to a lower percentage of Christian conservatives who are widely estimated to be the source of his political support.
In Iowa, religious conservatives may make up nearly half the participants; that proportion falls to less than 20 percent in New Hampshire. Past exit polls show that the number reached 30 percent in only three other states – South Carolina, Florida and Texas.
