Ron Paul Polling Third in Iowa and New Hampshire

It's showing solid, steady support. These polls came out during the holiday break and, especially the Iowa one, they show Ron is in the top 3 while previously-serious other candidates down in the low single digits.
 
My bet is the campaign released this because too many people on our side think Dr. Paul has this in the bag.
If this press release has any effect it should be to energize everyone to work even harder.
 
This is nice. Seems not too long ago most of these polls were showing 9, 11% tops. Glad to see the base number is increasing, the high numbers will come soon. Hopefully before iowa the national numbers start to really pick up. I hate seeing 4s and 5s. 9 and 10% national is nice, and I am thinking soon we could see it work up to what we see in iowa.

I am lost the polls are just not reliable, but I do know one thing. WE MUST KEEP WORKING and not give up if a poll shows Ron Paul at
the top. Purchase more super voter brochures lets blanket Iowa along with the few people who have time to make calls we can do it!!:D

Or, donate to the campaign so that they can finish executing their strategy. They have developed the message that will work on Iowa voters and know how to best deliver it so that we will actually win over people, rather than run them away.

We are passionate, but we don't have one single clue about how to win elections. The campaign does.
 
Ron Paul seems like he used these polls because it talks just about republicans..

We know he hits the inde crowd hard and can draw disgruntled dems, but if we can poll in the top solid three with just republicans that probably means a close first when everything is mixed in.
 
Small sample size and it is only likely Republican caucus goers. Everyone knows that Ron Paul has a large section of Indie's and Dem's that are going to vote for him. That is why we see some polls with him at 12% and others with him at 20%.

Let people keep thinking that he is at 12% because when we win, it's going to shock a lot of people, and that is the type of shock we need to wake some folks in other states up.
 
I think Paul probably wants to be underestimated. The more the official campaign downplays his strength, the better it looks if he does win Iowa, since not even the campaign will have been pushing that narrative. I don't necessarily agree with the strategy, but its something alot of campaigns do. There's no real point in Paul declaring he's has a good shot at winning or coming a close second in Iowa if the media will just dismiss it. Here the campaign can say "We knew we'd do good in Iowa, but even we were not expecting first. This goes to show voters are coming around to Dr. Paul."
 
We have a chance at winning, but we're going to have to work for it.

Keep drilling Gingrich and Romney, and keep helping Paul.

Does the phrase "lowering expectations" mean anything to y'all?

nope ,unless you mean keeping supporters motivated to go to caucus. Then the goal is to make sure you tell everyone it is close and we could lose. When folks assume your gonna win. It gives folks reasons not to show to caucus! This is a way to keep the motivation up to attend and make sure Ron paul Wins, pretty much that simple!
