WTF?? Maybe only to us a 3rd place finish was disappointing in Nevada??

I've been down this road countless times.... but for some reason I'm really really pumped and thinking this thing is about to EXPLODE.

If we're polling that high nationally, we must be pulling near 30% is some states since we do so poorly in the south. Here's hoping Minnesota is one of those states.

Don't expect to hear about this poll anywhere else.

 

[fearthereaperx]

Why did they weigh democrats a lot higher compared to Republicans?

 

[goldpants]

That is fantastical!

 

[TheTexan]

Why did they weigh democrats a lot higher compared to Republicans?

there are more Dems registered now then GOP, but GOP turnout is more reliable. But there are more INDEPENDENTS than GOP and the reason they don't turn out as well is they don't like the candidates. Ron Paul brings in new candidates.

This is great!

Ron's second place is just with GOP voters!! INdependent and Dem support would be on top of that!!

 

[Edward]

NO WAY

Way!

The first thing I thought when I read "Reuters poll" was "Online poll" like it usually is.

This is a real, scientific poll. Not an online poll.
