People seem to be coalescing around the "Big Two." Need to bring them down...

[Agorism]

Especially Perry since he's the "Tea Party" candidate. Idk "Tea Party" voters want him other than Sean Hannity, Levin, Rushbo, and the water carriers tell them to like him..

Excellent poll

It's still good news but it would have been so much better if we got 10% at least.

Also, it's f****ed up for them to not have polled Paul against Obama.

[R3volutionJedi]

The frontrunner" phrase should be based on who does best against Obama......

[BlueFloyd]

They conducted the poll at a Romney Rally.

Third place at 9% when second is at 23% shows me that we have a long way to go and a short time to get there.

Voter drives that recruit anti war Democrats, fiscally conservative independents and others need to get underway asap,imho.

Perry will start to fall once he participates in debates. Well...if he ever participates in debates, lol. He's still flavor of the month, but Sept. has a lot of debates and they will not help him out.

*edit: Also wanted to add that we will pick up support once other candidates drop out.

We ARE at 10% in the new Politico poll, tied for 3rd.

[tremendoustie]

I think a solid 3rd at 10% is very good at this stage.

I hope that as people pay more attention perry and romney will fall.

Of course, we all need to work our asses off so this number improves. We won't win if we stay in the 9-13% range.

[sailingaway]

Ron has been in third in MOST of the new ones, but they still discuss Bachmann as if she were ahead of Ron, while saying it is a two party race. I agree Perry currently is holding part of Ron's natural base, which needs to be shaken lose.
