Mike Huckabee is polling at six percent followed by Ron Paul (six percent) and Sarah Palin (four percent). GOP Rep. Michele Bachmann is getting support from four percent of those polled.

The article doesn't say it but reading the poll shows that Gov. Pawlenty's level of support with Republicans doesn't even break out of the poll's margin or error. This continues a trend that has run, almost uninterrupted, for several months. These kind of 'hometown, favorite son' articles really won't be newsworthy until the Governor's support starts to exceed the Big MOE.
