New Gallup Poll: Ron Paul 3rd: 13%

Some one with a hannity forums account please post this on that forum. I really wanna see what they say. Even the neo-cons are softening on their stance. They used to say "Ron Paul is completely unelectable" but now they are saying "He maybe electable in the eye's of the general public, but among Republican primary voters he is not". It's getting torn down brick by brick.
 
The poll also says that Paul is polling 18% in the Midwest. Astounding.

We don't like wars in the Midwest.

Sans Illinois (because of Obama's hometown effect in Chicago), Paul would sweep the Midwest + Pennsylvania in the general.
 
I am beginning to think Perry could be unstoppable. Something has to be done to neutralize him.
 
I've lived everywhere in MO and the whole state feels like a giant hub for neo-con's. Maybe it is changing?
 
Those are some awesome results!!!

If you look at the demographics, we're polling third in all of them except for:

- losing among people who are 50+ years old.
- wining among 18 to 29 year olds. :)
- tied for second among 30 to 49 year olds!


Also, when Rudy Guliani and Sarah Palin are included:

We're above Guliani now! :p
In the last poll he was being Paul 11% to 8%, but this time he's losing w/ 9% to Paul's 11%.

We're also tied with Palin at 11% as opposed to the previous poll where she was winning by four points w/ 12%.

Other great news is that Bachmann drops to single digits from 11% to 7%!

Let's see if Bill O'Reilly and Dick Morris bring up this poll tonight when they discuss Paul, or will they stick with the old one because it fits their scenario better? I will give them props if they talk about this poll.
 
I think the most significant thing about this poll is how badly Romney tanked to Rick Perry. Once Parry's big banker record is exposed he will suffer, but the damage to Romney will remain, leaving the top position wide open.

Dunno much about Missouri politics. You won't find many neocons in the upper Midwest though. And Obama's been increasingly unpopular in the lower Midwest so I figured Paul would be able to wrap up wins there, too.

If you look at the numbers, Dr. Paul is at his highest number yet. Every other candidate downticked except for him and Cain who stayed at 4%. So basically Perry and Paul took points from the other candidates. Perry because he's new, Paul because well, he's right and tells the truth. Good to see more people catching on.

Yep. Now it's time to tell the truth on Perry. A candidate who tried to force little girls to take an experimental STD vaccine and who got an award from a Mexican president for his efforts to help illegal immigrants shouldn't even be in the running for a GOP primary.
 
Ron Paul Top Three Among GOP Contenders in Gallup Poll
[FONT=georgia, serif]Survey has Paul quietly surging into top three

[/FONT]​
LAKE JACKSON, Texas – In a new Gallup survey , 2012 Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul takes third place among top GOP contenders and is within striking distance of second. The results, which are based on a survey of Republican and Republican-leaning independents, have Paul at 13 percent and ahead of most of the Republican primary field. These results come just a day after a newly released Rasmussen poll showed him within 1 percent of President Obama in a head-to-head match up.

“The campaign is continuing to pick up momentum and energy,” said Ron Paul 2012 Campaign Manager John Tate. “Dr. Paul is gaining ground in poll after poll, affirming that people are looking for real change instead of the status quo they are being offered from the establishment candidates.”

Paul is coming off a strong finish in the Iowa Straw Poll, where he barely missed the top spot by less than one percent. In addition, recent surveys taken in both New Hampshire and Iowa show the Congressman in the top three of Republican contenders.

Another recent Gallup survey, conducted August 17-18, shows Paul only 2 points behind Obama in a general election match-up. In a similar head to head survey from last year done by Rasmussen, Paul actually drew a statistical dead heat with the President. And earlier this year in a survey by CNN, he did the best out of the other Republicans put up against Obama in a head-to-head poll.

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

Over the next few weeks, the media will have time to go through his record. Perry is not as conservative as people thing. He was very much in favor of the North American Partnership. I expect Perry's numbers to drop during the next month or so.
