Nope, I disagree. The biggest problem is the Diebold machines.

What is the current law on phone polling using a machine to dial, speak, and record responses? Is it legal? I know the do not call list has exemptions for political polling but I can't find definitive information on this question. John

This is pretty much my exact words: "Hi, I'm John and I'm doing a poll about the upcoming elections. Can I ask you a few questions?" The response has always been yes, ask away. "Do you plan on voting in the presidential primary?" If they answer no, I say thank you for your time and say...

This is a preliminary investigation. And using land lines for phone polling should hurt Ron Paul's numbers. So if he does well in land line poll, he would do even better with a more accurate poll. http://www.lewrockwell.com/blog/lewrw/archives/016355.html F you, Frank. lol. John

Well that was interesting! I grabbed a phone book and a phone and randomly called 15 people (reached 15 people, I ignored answering machines and those that did not answer). I asked: 1. Do you plan on voting in the presidential primary? If yes, I asked: 2. Who will you vote for? That's it...

Sounds like Ron Paul should be at 100% in the GOP polls, lol. Of course, with a sample size of one, there is probably some margin of error, lol. I'll make 10 calls this evening and report the results. John.

Dropping this idea due to lack of response. Obviously, I'm in the vast minority with these thoughts. But I'm used to that, lol. You may not realize but a Ron Paul supporters executed poll was just the first step. If the numbers varied significantly between this poll and the MSM polls, the...

Having Rasmussen do a poll kind of defeats the purpose. I'm trying to find out if the polling organizations are bought and paid for and buying a poll from them would not answer that question. If they fudge the numbers for the MSM polls, they would probably do the same for any poll I purchase...

http://youtube.com/watch?v=LQYyPooETcI Interesting Bill Maher interview with Garry Kasparov. Bill made a comment about Putin's high poll numbers and Kasparov asked if you really should believe poll numbers in a police state? How close is the U.S. to being a police state? Should we believe...

msm opinion Partypooper, you sound like you could be a member of the mainstream media. That is exactly what they would say. But the MSM has lost credibility in other areas so is there any reason why we should still trust them on this polling issue? How about trust but verify? Which is what...

waste of time or best move? Yes, it might be a waste of time to do this poll. Then again, I can think of a scenario where continuing to push the Ron Paul message out to the masses is the big waste of time and doing this poll might save the campaign and win him the GOP nomination. What if Ron...

By door to door, I don't mean go to every house in a neighborhood. Instead, what I mean is select the address to be polled and go to that address. Hit one house that has been scientifically selected in a neighborhood. So let's call it an in-person poll instead of door to door. The only...

politician endorsement good, celebrity endorsement better Does anyone know celebrities that might consider endorsing Ron Paul? A-List to D-List, they all help. John

my own information plus... I would like a poll for my own information plus as a method of planting a seed of doubt into some of the folks in the mainstream media. I'm of the opinion that most of the folks in the mainstream media are honest but gullible. They believe their bosses when the...

Yard Sign plus table with flyers Halloween is a great time to let people know about Ron Paul. I would suggest at a minimum a yard sign. Everyone who comes to your door will see your yard sign. In addition, I would suggest a small table with flyers available. John
