Here's the new Iowa poll we mentioned yesterday: A new American Research Group survey finds Mitt Romney barely holding on to his lead in the first caucus state with 26% support, followed closely behind by the surging Mike Huckabee at 24%. Rudy Giuliani and Fred Thompson tie for third with 11%, followed by Sen. John McCain at 10%.
Key finding: Among registered Republicans saying they will definitely participate in the January 3 Republican caucuses, Huckabee actually leads Romney, 24% to 23%.
On the Democratic side, Sen. Hillary Clinton leads with 27% followed closely by Sen. Barack Obama with 21% and John Edwards with 20%. Clinton's support level is her lowest recorded by ARG in 12 Iowa polls over the past year.
