While the top Democrats remain in a three-way race, all the action has been on the Republican side. The poll confirms recent surveys that have shown Huckabee picking up steam and challenging Mitt Romney's long-held position as the front-runner in the state. The survey puts Huckabee in second place in Iowa, within striking distance of Romney with voting in the caucuses some seven weeks away.
The CBS/New York Times poll was conducted by telephone Nov. 2-11 with 1,273 likely caucus-goers in Iowa. The results have a margin of sampling error of 4 percentage points for Democratic caucus-goers and 5 percentage points for Republican caucus-goers.
