State polls and news: Paul supporters underrepresented

[Bradley in DC]

On this site (http://www.usaelectionpolls.com/), there are a lot of state polls where we're getting our butts kicked here people--I'm throwing down the gauntlet for the Meetups and supporters in these states!

Flordia zip, Colorado nada, Pennsylvania (possibly) part of 6% "other"

National ABC poll puts Dr. Paul last of those at 1%

and also some articles on Ron Paul supporters:

Based on how polls are taken, the younger group of voters are often under-represented. It does not matter that there exists (or does not exist) Ron Paul support amongst those older than 29 because they are represented fully. The question is whether or not these polls are properly taking into account Ron Paul's base of younger support and we clearly see that it is not.

Bradley, I think the pollsters and the powers that be are probably quite pleased to be under representing the younger vote demographic and thereby showing lower numbers for Dr. Paul.

In fact, I consider publicly available polling data to be nothing more than another mainstream media tool for thought and opinion control.

There was a Pew research study that I saw a report on CNN about a while back. They found something like 25% of voters got their info on candidates from the late night satire bits (Daily, Colbert, Leno, etc)...25% got their info on candidates from the internet...and the remaining batch got their info on candidates from MSM. I think the study was on the 2004 election cycle (it MAY have been 2006, not sure).

Bodes very well for RP. :)

The 1,000 are meant to be "representative" of the larger population. I used to work at a Republican polling company during the 1996 election. The point is this is all very early, Dr. Paul has a great message that gains supporters when people hear it, we just need to pony up and get to work.

Bradley, isn't it true that the younger voters are also least likely to vote? Especially in the primaries?

I wish I could just toss the poll results out of my head, but like another poster pointed out - lots of people in "the real world" have never heard of Ron Paul.
