Huckabee moves into second place and Giuliani, who retains a lead, dropped 9 points in the latest Washington Post/ABC poll. Giuliani holds onto a 25%-19% lead over Huckabee, but a month ago Giuliani had doubled up his nearest opponent, McCain, 34%-17%.
In the latest poll, McCain has dropped five points and from second place to fifth. Romney, third in this poll, saw a boost from 13% to 17%. Thompson, meanwhile, lost 2 points.
On the Democratic side, Clinton gains two points for a whopping 53% to 23% lead over her closest rival, Obama. Edwards is the only other Democrat to register in double digits with 10%.
