We need $7800 for our OWN professional polls. Visit www.TheFreedomNetwork.US

personally, i think the money could be used more productively on TV ads and the blimp. i dont neccessarily dislike the idea but were overstreched on projects as it is and i dont think this is as important. who is actually gonna believe our polls over the beloved media polls? i just think this is a project that wont do enough especially with the money it costs

$7800 is CHEAP for these FOUR polls.

It will return an immense risk/reward ratio, because we WILL get the word out, and at the very least, we will know, internally, where we really stand.

where will the polls be shown? i mean if its only online it seems like a waste because the grassroots already knows the media polls are biased, and if the MSM doesnt pickup the polls then we havent reached a new area of voters to persuade..?

 

[RonPaulVolunteer]

We don't need accurate polling. It might scare the others into action. Just get out and vote and drag ALL your friends and family along to the polls.

[SteveMartin]

where will the polls be shown?

We will be targeting the Concord Monitor the Manchester Union Leader and the Nashua Telegram in NH, along with NH Public Radio.

Nationally we will be going after Tucker Carlson of MSNBC, Wolf Blitzer (Jack Cafferty) of CNN.

Look, it's $7800....not $7.8 million. It will be money very well spent!

Also, the time-effectiveness travels well Beyond NH, because it will show how biased the polls have been during the whole lead up. This could have a big impact on all succeeding primaries.

I've been wanting to see this for a while. What sort of methodology is being used?

Thanks for your interest Jg.

All the final details are not yet established however, I would refer you to this thread:

http://ronpaul.meetup.com/boards/view/viewthread?thread=3953021 where the initial discussions began, including the quote from the polling company.

There were some great suggestions on page 6 of this thread also, from a poster named AceNZ which we plan to incorporate elements of:

Do you have additional suggestions to offer? We are certainly open to suggestions.

thanks again!

What do you mean "take the over?" Not to mention, they are at least 3 times the cost for the same set of 4 polls.

I don't mean we pay Zogby.

I mean we get Zogby to ask us, and we answer thier questions. If the problem is that Paul supporters aren't being asked, because of not having land lines or whatever, we can fix that by registering with Zogby so they start asking us.

Based on how Paul is doing well in the debate polls and straw polls, he ought to have enough support to register with Zogby and bring his numbers up.

It would be free to us except some time.

Oh, I see.

Well, are we going to count on them doing anything before IA or NH?

Are we going to count on them EVER giving out the real story about the breadth and depth of RP's real support at any time during the primary season?

What are the %age chances they'd do either?

I'd rather raise the $7800 and know the poll was done correctly, and reported fairly.

 

[SteveMartin]

3 times this morning alone on TV, I have heard already various people talk about RP, and mention that the polls show that his fund raising successes and vibrant grassroots support are illusionary because the polls show that he can't win.

PEOPLE...THE MSM ONLY HAS THESE POLLS TO LIE TO THE PEOPLE WITH. IF this project is successful, they will have NOTHING left!

[hasan]

where do we stand regarding the poll?

 

[SteveMartin]

where do we stand regarding the poll?

1.3% raised in the first 24 hours.

We really need that pace to pick up if we are going to get the full $7800 in time for NH.

 

[hasan]

should we message the meetups in NH know about this? here has to be some way of promoting it outside the forums

 

[Man from La Mancha]

Save the money the only poll that counts is the primaries.

Absolutely!! All publicity for this is GOOD publicity.

Thanks, Hasan. Please let me know if you complete that, and thanks so much for bringing it up.

Hasan,

You do not need to be a member of a particular meetup to send them an email. Meetup limits you to 10 such emails per day, but what I would suggest you do is go to Google, and type in: "NH" (or "New Hampshire") and "RonPaul.meetup.com," then write down the meetup numbers of all the meetups you find in that state.

Then, you simply go and put the Ron Paul address for the group in your "send to" box, with commas between the various addresses.
