OCU,
It will be interesting, from reports I've heard the polling in these states are VERY unreliable.
They predicted McCain with a wide margin, Huckabee won.
Found an article, this is a sliver.

The contradictory findings in Mississippi and Alabama highlight a lack of precision and stability and suggest that, collectively, pollsters are having trouble identifying the likely electorate. These two states have given pollsters trouble before. Nate Silver notes via Twitter that his compilation of past primary polls shows that pollster error in Alabama and Mississippi "has been about 50% higher than in other states."
Also, as blogger Harry Enten points out, three of the final four polls on the Alabama Republican primary in 2008 showed Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) leading former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee -- two polls showed McCain leading by fairly wide margins. Yet Huckabee defeated McCain, 41 to 37 percent.
