Rasmussen Iowa poll [UPDATE: Released, Confirmed]

If true, this is great. The last rasumussen poll had Paul 5 points down.

And actually, if I got to pick second, it'd be santorum, not romney.
 
Does Rasmussen also only poll registered Republicans? If so, these are good numbers.

I think Rasmussen does only registered R's I believe like CNN. So if we're within 1% of Romney with no I's or D's included, then that's about the same as PPP had us if not better.

Oh, if that is the case then this poll isn't that bad at all! Ron will get the independent and democrat vote, so add at least another 5 points to his total in this one and that should be close to the election day results.
 
They don't poll organization and enthusiasm so I tend to think we are a few points higher and Romney is a few points lower.

If this is just Republicans, which I think it is, then this is actually a REALLY strong poll for Ron.

I don't think it will be THAT blatent, they would usually say 'those who lean Republican' but that is still not the same as saying those who plan on voting in the GOP caucus regardless of whether they can stand even one other Republican in the world besides Ron Paul. However, Rasmussen is in zone and makes his living off his polls, unlike CNN, so I don't know that he'd play TOO fast and loose this close to the caucus. Last time he was simply wrong in lowballing Ron, though. Caucus turn out is hard to predict.

That's not good. But it's still friggin Rasmussen!

We should look at it strictly in comparison to the previous Rasmussen poll. Let's not be silly and compare it to PPP's.

Agreed, this shows a 5 point improvement I believe over the past Rasmussen, so that's showing the same surge that all other polls are showing.
 
Still need to know the polling sample data before taking anything from this poll. I'd like to see RP in first in all of them but that doesn't fit the media narrative they're trying to shoehorn onto the public before the caucus.
 
By super Tuesday it is going to be a Mitt vs. Ron race. This is the strategy that the campaign has adhered to for months, and so far it looks rock solid. At that point it is going to be open warfare between the party establishment and the grassroots...well it already is as we can see, but I think by then even the sheeple will see it.
 
If Ron Paul did a commercial on the Christian Just War Principles and the emerging one world govenment he would dominate the christian vote and remove Santorum's name from the polls he would drop so fast.
