Poll: Rudy Dropping In Multiple Voter Groups As Religion Shakes Up GOP Primary
By Greg Sargent - December 11, 2007, 5:44PM
New poll numbers are just out from The Washington Post and ABC News, and they offer some striking findings: Rudy is falling fast among multiple voter groups, especially conservatives, something that helps explain Mike Huckabee's extraordinary surge.
Check out this chart of Rudy's drop:

The chart shows that Rudy has suffered precipitous declines among all those groups since just last month. Meanwhile, look at this snapshot of the preferences of Republican voters right now -- it shows that Rudy has lost nine points since just last month, putting him at his lowest point this year. But Huckabee has more than doubled his support in the same period, lurching into second place. Also note that Mitt Romney seems to have made modest gains at Rudy's expense, too:

The pollsters say that Huckabee's surge is largely the product of dramatic gains among evangelical Protestants -- his support among them has jumped from 13% last month to 29% now, more than any other in the GOP field.
There's lots more in the full poll, which you can read right here.
