New early 2016 polling by CNN has stated that the Chris Christie scandals in New Jersey have taken him from the lead of the GOP presidential candidate.  Mike Huckabee was found by the CNN polls to be rising above the others by 14%.  The CNN poll called Huckabee a "new name;" however, he had been in the polling for the 2012 candidate spot.  He has also hosted a show on fox news for more than five years now.  Less than a year out from the GOP primaries, Gallup started tracking candidates' name recognition.  The Gallup poll has also found 20% of respondents have never heard of Chris Christie, and 26% have never heard of Rand Paul.  Jeb Bush and Mike Huckabee have been heard of through other means and therefore have a higher name recognition.
