Any idea what changed? It was sitting at 8.2% for the last week, and there haven't been any new polls...

Candidate: Paul
Average: 8.6
Rasmussen Reports: 10
Pew Research: 9
Gallup: 8
CNN/Opinion Research: 8
FOX News: 9
PPP (D): 9
ABC News/Wash Post: 7

If Ron Paul gets at least another 10 for the next poll, the new average of the 7 recent polls would put him at least 9.0% average!

I hope Perry jumps in and dilutes the Romney numbers. These guys will be hoping to limit their exposure as much as possible, since they have laughable records. Unfortunately, this could be a viable strategy for getting the nomination.

LOL look how they botched the subtitle under the main title. Says "2007" & "2008."

Why do they keep including this Palin person? Why not just throw in JFK or some other random, non-running, non-candidate too?

They dropped the Quinnipiac poll that had him at 5. I mentioned in an earlier thread that if it were dropped, he'd be at 8.6%.
