Surprised I did not see a thread on this......

Ron Paul is the Highest Favorable rated, and Lowest Unfavorable Rated Republican candidate according to this most recent poll.

Ron Paul also is ahead of Gingrich Nationally!



mod edit: Paul is #1 among Americans polled, #2 among Republicans polled (thanks Harikaried for numbers)

1026 Americans: Favorability / Unfavorability / Net
Paul: 42 / 36 / +6
Santorum: 32 / 38 / -6
Romney: 34 / 54 / -20
Gingrich: 25 / 63 / -38

478 Republicans: Favorability / Unfavorability / Net
Santorum: 56 / 23 / +33
Paul: 51 / 34 / +17
Romney: 54 / 40 / +14
Gingrich: 46 / 47 / -1

Are you talking among Republicans?

1026 Americans: Favorability / Unfavorability / Net
Paul: 42 / 36 / +6
Santorum: 32 / 38 / -6
Romney: 34 / 54 / -20
Gingrich: 25 / 63 / -38

478 Republicans: Favorability / Unfavorability / Net
Santorum: 56 / 23 / +33
Paul: 51 / 34 / +17
Romney: 54 / 40 / +14

[pauliticalfan]

Holy cow, so we're number 1 among all Americans and number 2 among Republicans? That's great!

 

[millercards]

Yeah, but the people are still clueless.

Paul is last in all the issues. Even the economy and federal budget spending.

As per the federal budget, it should look like this:

Paul 99%
Romney 0%
Newt 0%
Santorum 0%
Other 1%

(Someone always has to vote for Alf)

Well, now that Gingrich is not the frontrunner anymore, I see the Republicans who apparently loved him a couple weeks ago are now back to hating him.

EDIT: And it's nice to see Paul's favorability numbers up, especially among Republicans. Shows you how having no media spin really has an effect on the ups and downs.

Yes this is very strange - we come in on top on favorability but nearly last in all the individual categories. Makes no sense at all.

 

[BUSHLIED]

Yes this is very strange - we come in on top on favorability but nearly last in all the individual categories. Makes no sense at all.

It makes sense: they know Ron is telling the truth etc..but don't see him electable, therefore not able to address any of the issues...it's the same thing with the numbers of people that say Ron has the least chance of getting the nomination or beating Obama. Those numbers go to Romney...

it's the whole, yeah we really like Ron Paul's ideas on such and such but he can't win or is too old etc...

the campaign has to challenge the ideas that Ron is unelectable, which means that Ron has to win a state. I was clueless why Ron didn't campaign in the run up Maine to ensure the win.

CNN/ORC favorability poll – Feb 10-13 – Paul leads with 42/36%

nvm

 

[jamezelle]

Nice

 

[harikaried]

Holy cow, so we're number 1 among all Americans and number 2 among Republicans? That's great!

I wonder what it means for the candidates' electability. Gingrich is hated by all including those in the party.

 

[lakefx]

Surge on THAT Willard McFrothynewt.

 

[Duckman]

Is this general public, or just Republicans?

 

[opinionatedfool]

Yes this is very strange - we come in on top on favorability but nearly last in all the individual categories. Makes no sense at all.

I think there are a lot of people who like Ron Paul but think he can't win.

 

[wgadget]

Correction: Ron has not been allowed to win. IMHO.

 

[SCOTUSman]

Wow great news!

 

[J_White]

looks promising !!
Favorability leads voting by few weeks, i think.
lets see how it goes.
