Huckabee, who won the 2008 Iowa Caucus, has struggled to catch on this cycle. An average of Iowa polls compiled by Real Clear Politics shows Huckabee averaging just 2.3 percent — well behind several other GOP candidates.

He acknowledged last week that he must do well in Iowa to continue on, telling WHO radio in Des Moines that if he does not finish in the top three, he may drop out of the race.

“If we can’t come within striking distance of the victory or win it, then I think we recognize that it’s going to be hard to take that onto the other states,” he told host Simon Conway.

Huckabee’s appearance in Ames is part of a three-day tour of the first-in-the-nation voting state. He’ll also appear in Winterset, Indianola, Pella, Newton, Urbandale and Ogden.
