Reuters: Ron Paul surges to 2nd w/ GOP voters NATIONALLY with 21%, w/in striking distance

[jcarcinogen]

Maybe fox/CNN will report this and we'll get a little surge.

 

[Xenophage]

well Ron Paul does well. but why? cuz more than half of polled people are Democrats and Independants.



Means nothing to win the nomination.

Not according to the write-up. We need crosstabs, but the write-up says REPUBLICAN voters. The democrats and indies were not included in that part of the poll. They polled them for obama favorability numbers, and possibly other things. Need crosstabs.

Looking forward to the breathless news reports + an avalanche of headlines proclaiming "Santorum Ron Paul SURGES 5% and into 2nd place behind Romney!"

It should earn some media coverage..

We can't give up guys. No matter what. It's news like this that comes with the crests, and makes every trough completely worth it.

i don't get it...

is this versus obama?

democrats???

the GOP national primary was only GOP voters, they also asked Obama's approval rating and stuff and needed Dems for that. Even though Indies are more than GOP nationally, they only call half as much because due to putrid candidates Indies historically don't show up to vote. I suspect if Ron were the candidate that would prove different.

It should, but it's Ron not one of the others. I hope it gives him a poll surge like Santorum got before IA.

The polling included Obama approval ratings, because that is the makeup of the electorate. They only polled the Republicans and some independents for the Republican national poll.

It is kind of weird that it's happening now that the meida coverage has gone to zero.

I've always thought that RP gains support faster when there are no debates. He's the only one who has grassroots spreading the message nonstop. We build it back up when the media tries to rip it down. It appears that we're gaining and gaining. 2 steps forward & 1 step back. Keep walking people. We'll get there.

Will this be in the RCP? Don't see it there, though in the past they have included reuter/ipsos.. Lets hope they do

 

[angrydragon]

What?!?

DRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDGGGGE IT!

I did. Drudge will put this up. He's good like that. Maybe it'll spread. This is what happened with Santorum before IA, maybe, just maybe it'll go somewhere. But I wouldn't get too excited.

The MOE is really high, they might not include it.
