Who leads among....?

Republicans: Huckabee
Independents: Christie
household income less than $50,000: Christie
household income more than $50,000: Christie/Rubio tie
not a college graduate: Huckabee
college graduate: Rubio
under 45 years old: Rubio
over 45 years old: Christie
men: Christie
women: Huckabee
married: Christie
unmarried: Christie

Amusingly, Christie narrowly edges Huckabee among both those under and over $50,000, as well as both those who are married and unmarried....yet he's tied with Huckabee over all.

Not sure how that math works.  I guess it must be a rounding thing, where Christie's support is actually 13.4% or so and Huckabee's is 12.6% or so, which both round to 13%.
