Campaign would do good to have a sit down interview, if it is filmed as advertised in the cbs link - rather than through the camera and mics during his weekday job on Capitol Hill.Probably taped on Saturday, shown on Sunday and assures Rand starts the week in the news cycle . . . good for upcoming polling certainly.
 
. . . good for upcoming polling certainly.

Currently polling doesn't mean anything. I thought Trump would have imploded by the end of September yet he still holds a pretty strong lead. Carson took a hit the other night while Carly will rise because the media has been pumping her for a month now. Also, in 2011 there were 21 debates before Iowa which allowed a lot of movements up and down candidates. This year, according to Rove in a WSJ article I read yesterday said that there are only 4 more debates this year and I think 3 debates in Feb. That's it.

So it might take a while longer before Trump implodes. Even Rove thinks he will. Time will tell but right now this ignorant voters like the school kid brat style attitude with an empty suit. Regardless, plenty of time before this race is truly settled. Ron was at 3% all the way through up until Dec and in Iowa he took the lead at 24%. And all hell broke lose within the establishment and fake conservative talk radio heads.

Breitbart is reporting a poll that shows Rand has the lowest favorable at 38%. Trump increased his lead. Carly increased and Carson is going down. Rubio went up a bit and everyone else is 6% or below.
 
favorable/unfavorable doesn't mean much, most people will pick their favorite and put unfavorable for the rest on telephone polls
 
They give Hillary nearly 30 minutes and when it's on CBS for everyone, and Rand will be on last half the show when some cbs stations switch to a different program... of course I'm one of the "some" that is switching so I can't see Rands interview. Just switched to some random show that is no longer face the nation
 
He was on and was awesome but only got 8 minutes to Hillarys 30 minutes.

He hit her hard and sounded rational and concise on his stances, came across very presidential.
 
Was Rand on yet?

I assume so, sounded like Rand was going to be on at 11am est, right as some markets switched to a different show. My CBS station switched at that time, so I don't really know, hopefully someone will provide a tube soon. If not, I think the show is rebroadcasted on CBSN at 2 pm est
 
And their dumbass panel didn't even mention Rand. Talked about hilliary, the republican debate, asked "is Trump almost over", said, "Walker is over" and proclaimed that Rubio is really wonderful. :rolleyes:

Actually it is one of the worst categories to be low in. It directly reflects that Rand won't be a second choice to a large percentage. It can change, as Trump turned it around but Rand is going in the wrong direction.
 
I personally do not think favorability/unfavorabililty mean anything.

Most certainly the favorable and unfavorables matters. It's extremely hard to win if your favorables aren't above 50% or if your unfavorables are higher than your favorables.

Remember, Ron had 50-60% favorables in Dec. of 2011 when he took the lead in Iowa. That scared the crap out of the establishment and the elites gave right wing talk radio their marching orders to go nuclear on Ron. Everyone of them DID just that and brought out that issue of Ron Paul's newsletter that someone else wrote in it. Ron's national favorables tanked to around 40% maybe a little less. After Iowa Ron was done because the media took him out, only a miracle could have saved his campaign.
 
Good job by Rand.

Why are his favorables so low? I certainly don't get it. I guess all the republicans being polled want someone who'll bomb Iran???
