Don't let up, folks! This is incredible! Got the chills reading the PPPolls tweets today at work! I can't even believe it's real!

 

[jclay2]

Still lots of work to be done and attacks to be taken, but this is awesome!

I just pray that Ron can have a solid debate performance without any slip ups that the msm can manipulate

This needs pushed out to all the money bomb email lists, facebook groups, meet up groups, and every other group of people that would potentially donate to the money bomb on Dec. 16th, if this doesn't get them fired up and ready to throw their money at the campaign nothing will! And I'll be honest, after seeing these numbers I'm planning on doubling my efforts! This should put hope into the hearts and minds of every Ron Paul supporter out there, now we gotta make sure he's got the money to execute the game plan!

Besides, most kids have drivers license.

Not if they are from out of state!! I use to use my college ID for things like voting, fishing licences in college, if they would have passed this law to vote then I'd have to run get a state ID which I know I wouldn't have done. Wasn't motivated enough, plus I didn't even know you could get plain jane state ID, I'd probably think I'd need a state driver's license which I did not want to change from my home state so I know I would have said "forgetta bout it:" I wouldn't be surprised if all of a sudden close to election day, it's "our machine is broke expect your ID in the mail in 2 to 6 weeks!" LOL, we know how this game works.


Anyway, I salute all the Ron Paul patriots on this board and WORLD WIDE

Absolutely amazed and glad to see this number. I took a real hit when I saw the University of Iowa poll yesterday :/. Obviously they are out there, horrible poll. Confounding variables up the ying yang, as well as low sample size. Here, we have one of the best polls because how deep the cross tabs go.

I think we WANT to keep Gingrich a few points ahead until the very last minute. Keep all the criticism flowing Newt's way, while Ron steadily sneaks up from behind. Hopefully we'll overtake Newt with just a few days to go, and by then our momentum will be too strong to stop.

Well, the "front runner" gets the hits. That's Gingrich. The "front runner" is determined by national polls. If Ron Paul gets up by 10 points in Iowa, Gingrich still gets hits, right? right?, because of the National polls.

I thought we didn't look too positively on PPP. Why are we doing this different today??

I personally have had problems in the past month or 2 with PPPs numbers with 18-29. I thought those numbers were impossibly low. These numbers with 18-29 look great to me.

Regarding IOWA, we have come so far now we just need to

 

[Jbunker]

I can't imagine how great of a feeling it will be next week when I see Ron Paul as number 1.

Holy shit, this is awesome to come home to

Amazing!!!!

Can't wait for the next poll....

My only worry is that our support hinges on the youth, and people who haven't voted in the caucuses before. This is typical an unreliable voting block.

How do we replicate Obama's success and GOTV?

Our poll numbers are far better than Obamas were at this stage of the game.

With 18-29, according to this latest PPP Iowa poll,

we get 42%

the next highest is 13% Bachmann and Romney.

Obama did not have that kind of commanding advantage in Iowa over Hillary.

This year, with 18-29 - it's Ron Paul and everyone else.

My argument, for months, has been to somehow get money into the hands of people on the ground in Des Moines, and the other major cities in Iowa.

What would Michael Whouley do?

There will be enough Ron Paul supporters in bars in Des Moines on 12/31/11 to win. I'm not sure how we turn 25 year olds who are in bars on New Year's Eve into people who go to the caucus 3 days later, but that's where they are.

If we're talking about Iowa, where did the kids get their drivers licences? At college or at their parents house? I'm guessing parents house. In Iowa, they'll be at their parents house.

 

[parocks]

organization, and we have it

to some degree. Are all of those kids on our lists?

Showing the poll on fox right now.

The push seems to have been mostly generated by a massive uptick in support among women. What changed?
