I'm posting this again from earlier today, partially in response to some comments over on a
blog post by Patrick Rufinni. Partially to illustrate Ron Pauls true standings nationwide in various polls, including some straw polls. And partially because it needs to be addressed again.
Let the Paulbot moaning begin!
Contrary to the "World According to Paulbots" misinformation out there, it seems their guy is going to amount to, well, not much.
From Rasmussen:
http://rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/daily_
presidential_tracking_poll__1For the seven days ending August 26, 2007, Rudy Giuliani earns 24% of the vote. Fred Thompson is second at 23% followed by Mitt Romney at 13%. John McCain now earns 12% support followed by Mike Huckabee at 5%. Four other candidate split 4% of the vote while 18% are undecided. Those other four candidates, mentioned by name in the polling question, are Sam Brownback, Ron Paul, Duncan Hunter, and Tom Tancredo (review history of weekly results).
This info is a bit date (Monday), but the most recent Rasmussen report doesn't even mention anyone below Huckabee, so until the next weekly report, this is it.
So Roan Paul splits 4% with three other candidates. Best case: The three other candidates all have 0% and Ron Paul has 4%.
Scorcher!
From American Research Group:
http://americanresearchgroup.com/Ron Paul is polling 1% in Iowa, 3% in New Hampshire, and 2% in South Carolina.
En Fuego!
From Strategic Vision:
http://www.strategicvision.biz/political/newjersey_poll_083007.htm Ron Paul - 3% in New Jersey. There is good news in this poll however. Ron Paul is up 1 percentage point in the past six weeks in this same poll.
Smokin!
Straw Polls Paul didn't win:
What, you mean the "only man who can save the world" has not won some straw polls? With all the buzz of those he
has won, funny how these were left out.
Kentucky State Fair/State Straw Poll - Ron Paul: 6th Place/6.8%
http://www.allamericanpatriots.com/48730452_kentucky_
kentucky_state_fair_straw_poll_results A California Straw Poll. Now if you follow the link and read the story, this is the type of poll Mr. Paul has done extremely well in. In this one he scores: 3%.

featurednews/news01.txtBottom Line:
Again, contrary to the internet hype and the wishes of his supporters, none, NONE of the hype, You Tube numbers or any amount of spamming has done anything for Ron Paul.
I can hear it now...
All of these polls, organizations and websites are just republican political hack groups who want to stifle the RP Revolution, so they don't count...you just don't know!
