Ron Paul Takes Lead at 27.5% in Iowa KCRG/Gazette Poll

[ronpaulyourmom]

lol !!

 

[Barrex]

I see. The general feeling is "go get them"

 

[steph3n]

"Remarkably fluid" my ass!

Once you go Ron u never go back!

While I agree for about 15-18% that is true, there are some fluid supporters that don't bite the hook, just nibble enough to vote. They are the same people that jump all over the place. We NEED to attract them with something no doubt, but it does change the dynamics that have been that super solid crawl over molten lava and frozen hillsides demographic a bit that has existed, and will continue to exist. ANd if they take time to actually read(thats the kicker!) and know who they are voting for, they may come around fully, but you need the nibblers to win as well.

People don't want to be told what to do so directly. Yea, a lot of sheep in the world but they at least want to be treated like they kind of have a choice. Being told that they CAN'T vote for someone will make them to and do that out of rebellion. I say great! Is this a revolution or ain't it?

This poll is almost already old by rcp standards. they like polls over short time periods.

Man i thought Grinch was done?
As long as Ron keeps on siphoning off a couple of percentage points every time the sheep get behind another teleprompter reader we will win for sure.

Poll dates back 12/8 when Gingrich was still up there, he's in a free fall now. No way he's still at 25%.

Question: What is Mark Levin, Rush, and Hannity going to think when they see this poll in the morning with Paul at 27.5%??

I was curious why the poll was over such a long period of time.. It was like they tried to keep polling until someone else was in first and then gave up.

At the start of the poll I don't think Ron was in first. I am fairly sure they decided how long the poll would last before they started it.

LOL. I wonder if RCP even puts it up because it's so old.

 

[anaconda]

why has no one posted this poll yet. this is great news! RCP should be including it tomorrow. They included the last poll done by ISU/Gazette/KCRG in November.

Isn't 333 sort of a smallish sample size? Plus: Gingriich rising?

Not just the nibbler vote. We also need the low information voters. Their votes count as much as anyone else's. It's a very large and essential demographic. But I think the campaign's adds so far are able to reach a wide range of voters.

They did last time, and the last poll was conducted the exact same way.

 

[tremendoustie]

Seems like some wide variation in these polls for gingrich/romney. The last had them just about flipped from this.

Romney and the Bush-leaguers lost in 08' and now they are gonna lose AGAIN, but this time to Ron Paul.

BWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

 

[Agorism]

While Paul’s lead is easily within the margin of error, James McCormick, professor and chair of political science at Iowa State and coordinator of the poll, says the polling found that 51 percent of those naming the libertarian-leaning Texan as their first choice are “definitely” backing him.

The percentage for the next two candidates is much weaker, at 16.1 percent for Romney and 15.2 for Gingrich, McCormick said.

I'd like to know what Nate Silver thinks now with this poll considering how much stronger the commitment is.
