Although they did head to head with Obama a few days ago for Perry, Romney and Bachmann. Paul leads Bachmann.

The WV one is lousy, but in the NC one he's a hair's breadth from second. Unfortunately, if Perry doesn't start sinking the narrative becomes "he's running away with it!" Also RP needs to break the 7-14% ceiling, regardless.

Those aren't bad at all.

Perry is going to drop around 10 points after that mess last night.

Until these polls are post debate they really don't say much

I sadly agree. That NC is extremely awesome, and I honestly doubt that it will change too much but I will hold off judgement until I see some post-debate polls. The only hope I have is this. The media coverage of Ron Paul is a two edged sword. They tend to ignore him so it ends up that bad issues that many neo-con republicans dislike tend to be overlooked. Most of the time non-hardcore politophites are not very noticable of the few times they try to trash him on these bad subjects. Hopefully, it will fade away just like the osama comments and the drug thing, but we will see.

Sigh. Yes, other candidates drop, but we are going nowhere. We've been low-double digits for a long time.

I expected that from WV, but we can still win it because it's a convention, not a primary. All we need is people to become delegates. It's much easier to win out of 1100 people than out of 1 million.

what polling company is stupid enough to release polls after a debate that were taken BEFORE the debate? PPP amazes me sometimes.

Sigh. We've been low-double digits for a long time.
Because the campaign is only focusing on 2 or 3 states right now and the media is gunning for us from all angles. This campaign is being run insurgent style, I don't see many other options right now.
