On Drudge now...

the poll was also conducted June 26-27, 2011


Romney's was mid July. We've definitely gained at least a percentage point or two since then.

Yet they reported Romney's before reporting Ron's.

I'm getting tired of the media treatment of Paul. Imagine how well he'd be doing if he was one of their darlings.

This. It says a lot given how RP is treated. Those numbers are pretty good at this stage of the game.

BAM! RP is owning American politics right now

It is also before dr. pauls recent bump nationally. I think this bodes very well for us.

Well that's where Matt Drudge is invaluable.

Ron Paul can win....... Say it with me!

Ron Paul CAN win!!

We know he can win. It is a matter of getting the media to admit it.

I think we need a Pollster on our team...

what was the "shock" in this poll? Drudge uses a lot of hyperbole.

I think we basically know if Ron gets the nomination he'd have about a 50% chance of winning the whole thing. But that's step 2.

Actually they hired a top notch/well respected polling firm recently.

Drudge still has it up today which has to be intentional. Even if you've seen it you should really go back through drudge and check out the visual symmetry of the poll again....

Yeah, it makes it sound like the result is unexpected when other polls have had him polling as well or better. I think he was just trying to get their attention. I mean, unless they have short term memory problems, they shouldn't be all that shocked by now.
