[RonPaulCult]

Are these numbers for real? That's amazing!

[LibertyEsq]

No, he has them backwards unfortunately :(

[Aratus]

looks at the bold type up above! okay...
don't blame me, i'm from massachusetts!
lets work on improving those numbers!!!

[tsai3904]

SORRY! I switched the first two results. They are corrected now.

[erowe1]

Looks like a typo. I think they meant to say:

Obama 55%
Paul 30%

[tsai3904]

Sorry to those who saw the results in the first couple minutes. Didn't mean to get everyone's hopes up.

[sailingaway]

Wow. Well, we know Mass is a blue state.

Ron still does better than any GOP except Romney against Obama.

[TheState]

Looking at the crosstabs, RP does the best of any GOP candidate with "non-white" voters, by far.

[Aratus]

romney's numbers are an EXACT 99% repeat of his senate race against the late teddy kennedy.
none of ex-gov mitt's support as improved or slid backwards since the 1990s. most seriously!!!

I hate these state specific general election polls; they tell us nothing. Obama would beat Reagan in MA so who cares really? A GOP poll of MA might be a little more interesting; to see how ahead Romney is these days.

It shows us the relative performances of the Republican candidates against Obama. This poll illustrates that Ron Paul would do better against Obama than Perry would. This data can be used to our advantage.

I think you forgot about Romney.

Obama/Romney Mitt Romney Other 39%

Pretty awful poll. But 18-29 is a brightish spot.

Massachusetts is a good source of New Hampshire volunteers.

PPP seems to be on the low end of the averages, so I think it would safe to assume the numbers would a few points higher. Rasmussen seems to be on the high end of the average so they might be a few points lower.

Pretty good for Massachusetts either way.
