New Gallup Poll: Ron Paul 3rd: 13%

we're on our way

What is really interesting are the numbers from 2007, in an early September Gallup poll, Ron Paul registered 1%. Look at how far we have come!

We're now tied with Bachmann in the RCP average at 9.2 each

tweet it to the ppp pissy folks!!

Dr Paul's preference went from 8% to 11% . Sarah Palin, Guiliani, Bachman and Mittens dropped

We're statistically tied with Perry and Romney among voters in the East! NH anyone?

I'm thinking that Palin would even kill some of Scary Perry's support.

Very true; I actually think she would take a lot of his support if she got in the race. They are both playing the "down home" card, i.e., the populist card. Bachmann is doing the same thing as well, but she has much less overall support hence would lose out to Palin big time.

I really wish that Newt and Cain would just go ahead and shut it down. They have no money, and they raise no money. Both polling at 4% each. Would be nice if we could steal half of their support once they are out.

Anyways, RP is slowly, but surely climbing the mountain. We are going to surprise a lot of people this year.

*EDIT: If I'm Bachman I'm really worried. You just won the Iowa Straw Poll and you fall behind the person who you just beat. Goes to show you that she really bought votes in Iowa, and that her support there is weak, IMO.

I definitely agree with your post. I'm not so confident we will pull so many supporters from Gingrich, but there may be a few people in the Cain camp who would consider Ron Paul. Welcome to the forums!

Edit: I just noticed some people complaining about seniors, and I agree they can be frustrating, but the issue would be nearly solved if Paul (and others supporting him) would mention that Ron Paul would not pull SS and Medicare out from everybody. I bet a lot of seniors would agree making significant cuts to defense in order to pad SS is a good strategy. I haven't met many hawkish seniors, although it may be different for the rest of you. Just saying! A lot of it comes down to perception, I guess...

Not anymore. They just added the PPP poll, and that dropped us. The 3% number is still there too; looks like they are keeping all of the polls from this month, not just taking the newest ones.

Damn that PPP poll!

It's so sad that Perry has 29%. I'd rather have Obama or Romney than that clown.

The poll also says that Paul is polling 18% in the Midwest. Astounding.

Hopefully Revpac will get helped out by a few billionaires (Peter Thiel?) so they can air some negative ads on Perry. His favorables are WAY too good in this poll

We win younger voters!

But Perry beats us by a factor of 10 (!) among older people.

Perry will drop. He's getting the just-announced bump, plus he hasn't been vetted.

Romulus, I noticed that your avatar pic is noticeably larger than other posters pics.
How are you doing that?

Donate $20 for the annual fee.

 

[Agorism]

Put in that PPP national, and I doubt we tie with Bachmann...

This is very true. You can see how Michelle Bachmann media coverage bump and surprise first place in the Iowa straw poll coverage is starting to wane. The same will happen with Perry, he will drop as the weeks go on, no doubt about it. He will still probably be in first place but he is far overrated in these polls.

We are definitely making progress.

It isn't so much about other candidates falling as it is about us proving our message. There are no easy votes to poach here. We're selling something different than the other candidates.

 

[S.Shorland]

Everyone gets a 10% welcome/curiosity bounce which then fades.Paul just won't lose support once it is won so he is indeed starting to cook.The seniors should know that he won't privatise their benefits ie sell them to Wallstreet (see Concord Monitor Q&A on Youtube).Cut the militarism to tide the seniors over while letting the young still capable of work an opt out and ability to save in inflation proof gold/silver real money.Paul will win it and the general election too.

Yeah, that guy was wrong. RCP has us at 8.7 vs. Bachmann's 9.3. They use the Palin-included version of each poll, though.
