Paul's +18 net favorability (21% to 3%) is middle of the pack at least. I thought the neocons accounted for more than 3%.

and REMEMBER, ron paul is likely the one with the least negatives from the left on that list of "conservatives".

How often do you see a US State Representative, who is not Speaker or Minority Leader, with name recognition this high? I am extremely happy with these numbers.

At least with 73% name recognition, we dont have to go around asking WHO IS RON PAUL? all the time.

he has a good chance with 73% recognition and least negatives compared to other conservatives get from the left.. he just needs to get past the primaries. or perhaps a third party run with 73% recognition.. if getting on the ballot isn't a problem.

What's going on with Gary Johnson though? Hardly anyone knows him (14%) and yet more people view him strongly unfavorable than Ron Paul or even Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney.

Great numbers.


Guess what?

I heard, that Ron had been on TV more than any member of Congress in the last year. In fact I had heard that he had been interviewed more than the President has. I haven't fact checked it, but I believe it to be true. He is very accessible to the media.

You mean, the public that doesn't bother to read page 2 of the article. :)

So, uhm does this officially make Dr. Paul part of the "Top Tier"?

Still have a way to go in the name recognition department, but it won't be nearly as difficult as last time. Plus, all of those numbers will change once the first couple of debates are held.

Yeah, definitely. His name recognition is there, and his favorables only trail by a little.

It's basically an outrageously good result for RP. I remember PPP just found his favorables at 41/28 among a similar cohort, so this poll is a coup.

Remember that RP will dominate among democrat-leaning independents and democrats that end up voting in republican primaries.

If there is not real democrat primary challenger, then we really need to work on outreach to get the liberals of whom civil liberties are their #1 issue to reregister and support Dr. Paul.

I was just going to post this. I note that he has higher favorables with independents than Republicans, from PPP polling and Rasmussen polling -- something none of the others I've seen polled have. How do we let independents know THEIR choice might win -- but only if they register Republican?

This only rates him amongst Republicans.

Have no fear, I'm sure they will limit the "Top Tier" to the top 4, or candidates with at least a 60% favorable rating.

Of those who know who he is, they probably only know that he's pro-choice and pro-pot... definitely not typical Republican stances

So you think it's worth our time trying to talk to liberals, who have been Democrats all their lives, who have never voted Republican before, to all of a sudden switch parties and vote in the Republican primary? This is how Ron Paul gets 1% again.

The better, more logical strategy is to focus on, believe it or not, likely Republican primary voters.

Your idea: Talk to liberal, convince him to vote for a conservative, convince him to register Republican, convince him to vote Ron Paul on election day
My idea: Talk to conservative, he's already going to vote conservative, already registered Republican, already going to vote on election day. All that's left to do is convince him to vote Ron Paul.

What sounds easier?

The majority of Americans are registered independents. There are liberals and conservatives in this margin, I think it can be easy to bring them both to the table in 2012. Don't just write off converting liberals, I'm an ex-liberal myself.

Ron Paul's anti-war rhetoric is what drew me into the liberty movement and from there on I only expanded into fiscal conservatism, ect. I know a large amount of forum members here went through the same process. Don't just wave off converting liberals.

Remember, we are talking about a Republican presidential primary here. Many states require that you have to be registered Republican to vote in its presidential primary. So, it really doesn't matter what party the 'majority' of Americans are registered for. All we are concerned about are likely Republican presidential primary voters. And like it or not, the vast majority of them are registered Republicans and they control who wins or loses the primary. Therefore, it's utterly stupid to focus campaign outreach on a bunch of liberals who don't want to vote Republican.

You say "Ron Paul's anti-war rhetoric" is what drew you to the liberty movement. Yeah it was his rhetoric, not campaign volunteers.

If the goal is to win the Republican presidential primary, then the best campaign strategy is to focus on likely Republican presidential primary voters, not the 20 liberals you could actually talk into registering Republican and then voting Ron Paul in the primary election.

Truth. You want to win a primary victory, you focus on likely primary voters. Whatever they may be in your State. You want to win in the General, you focus on likely General Election voters. There will always be some few who refuse to walk on 'trodden ground' and that's OK too. The more of those you have the more of a future your movement has.

But yeah, if you want to actually win an election, you focus on voters who are already likely to vote in that election. You do what works. That works.

If you extrapolate Ron's rating to 100% recognition, he'd have 23 Very Favorable, 55 Favorable, 19 Unfavorable and 3 Very Unfavorable. That would give him a 78% favorable rating. Wait till the fed oversite kicks in, with Bernanke having to answer for it in the subcommittee.
