CNN national poll... Much better, Rand in 6th

Hell Yeah, CNN saves the day!! (only this time). That 3% Fox poll was devastating, but 6% is like even trending a bit upwards. Rand needed that badly for the coming debate. In the RCP average he is now tied for 8th place with Kasich and Huckabee. But if CNN will do an average of all polls since July as they stated, it even looks much better (as RCP dont include that older ones).

Way to go!

(Btw this is a good example of how misleading polls at this time can be - so one should not worry too much about them - if there wouldnt be the problem with the debate)

-------

Appendix:

For the first time (afair) Rand polled much better with women (8%) than with men (4%).

As always he polls much better with people under 50 years (9%) then with people over 50 (1%) Only that this time the difference is the biggest I have ever seen. Amongst registered republicans its even 10% vs. 1%

Also the difference between people who didnt attend college (3%) and people who did (8%) is noteworthy. Same goes for Independents (8%) and Republicans (4%) and moderates (9%) and conservatives (4%).

All to be found on p. 28-31

typically polls are 80%+ landline, this one was 60% landline...this shows that as you poll via the communication methods that Rand's strong demographics use, the better he polls and looks.

I bet if you polled 100% cell phone, he would be in the top 3
 
This just shows how totally biased Fox is...putting Christie ahead of Rand in their poll so that they don't have to put Rand's name up on the screen. I am so through with Fox; is it ok to say F*** Fox here? CNN is determining who gets in the next poll that they are sponsoring, so it looks good for Rand. Also, in that poll
, Rand Paul fares best among voters under age 50, 10% among the younger group vs. 1% among the older one,

Haven't watched Fox except in youtube videos for years now, so yeah, join the boycott. Their blacked out, misrepresented treatment of Ron Paul is well documented and was unforgivable to anyone with a conservative bone in their body, especially for the network pretending to be 'fair and balanced'. Theirs is not a small government agenda by any stretch.
 
Hell yeah! such a relief. I was worried he wasn't going to make it into the next debate.
 
Awesome! As long as he remains in the top 8 I'm happy. It's the only way to guarantee he'll be in the debate.

That's a huge difference for Cruz. WTF. Fox has him at 10%?? Great to see Rand ahead of him.

Rand should talk more about his plans to preserve social security. People who paid in obviously want their money back, and it would be a good area of common ground with those older voters.

I hope he goes after the older voters too. Maybe he will as we get closer.

Social media is how Rand will win. Getting the 50 and under to outnumber the 50 and over to vote (GOTV) is a must especially in Iowa, New Hampshire, and Nevada.

he talked about it in NH at the eggs and politics breakfast...said we need to raise the retirement age, change payouts, and allow a way for current people to fully or partially opt out to invest in better ways
 
This is really great news because it shows Trump's attacks on him haven't done much. The Trump obviously can't be taken down right now, at least not with logical arguments. I'm glad that at least going after Trump didn't hurt him.
 
6th place is fine by me. For now we just need to keep making the debates. Eventually people will start dropping out soon. Hopefully Christie...
