Yes, progress. At least Paul is mentioned in the poll, which is more than you can say for most of the polls in 2007. This tells us, again, of how important a role omitting a candidate from most surveys plays in suppressing their visibility, as it amounts to a soft blacklisting of that candidate. This in turn provides cover for the media's later hard blacklisting of the candidate (as seen in 2008). Paul needs to sponsor his own major polls, if he runs again, to head this off.
This poll also tells us (again) to not give much weight to all the internet and cable news or financial interviews Paul has gotten since the election, or cable debates he appears in if he runs again. MOST VOTERS DON'T WATCH CABLE INTERVIEWS. It's broadcast TV, and offline visibility that matters to get a candidate into the double digits of voter consciousness.
