This is another bullshit poll because they asked lead-in questions about Obama vs Romney, Obama vs Cain, and Obama vs Gingrich. So those 3 candidates will have slightly inflated poll numbers.

Anyway here's the most important part to the campaign:
Ron Paul leads "most unlikeable" with 15%.
Ron Paul leads "least trustworthy with nuclear weapons" with 13%
Only 2% think that Ron Paul is the most electable. (shows that probably only 2% of the nation is hard support, the rest is soft)

Most importantly, we must attach Ron Paul to the "Tea Party" and really promote his Tea Party credentials.

He gets 3% of Tea Party votes, and 23% of the Tea Party says he's the most unlikeable.

We need to air a Tea Party ad with footage from 4 years ago that touts Ron Paul's Tea Party credentials and refers to him as the Godfather of the Tea Party.

Newt 23%
Romney 22%
Cain 15%
Paul 8%
Perry 7%

Huntsman 3%

Republican voters only. No independents.

meh, not too bad for a FNC poll. Just continue to focus on Iowa and we'll be o.k.

We need Tea Party-oriented promotion

That 2% only shows that media have been effective in pretending Ron can't win against Obama even though by his Real Clear Politics poll average, only Romney polls better against Obama out of the entire field. It doesn't even RELATE to whether his support is hard or soft.

And you are right, that is fantastic that only 15 % rate Ron as most unlikable. He can lose every one of those votes and win in a landslide. Afterall, they don't get to vote against him twice simply because they hate him more.

How someone can call themselves "Tea Party" and not be for the intellectual father of the tea party still baffles me still today.

It's nice to see Cain drop and Perry place behind Paul. Helpful with the RCP National Average.

From 5th to 4th, before the Iowa and NH poll surge. Again, we're running an early state-centric campaign, not a national one.

Screw fox and their biased lead in question polls. That pissed me off to no end. The lead ins suggest front runners. :mad: You don't get to pick our nominee Fox!

I think we need to make 12/16, Tea Party II, big. Bigger than last time. I've heard the arguments that we have to have the money now.

There should be the same thing as last time.

And people, like Rand, should be where he was last time, saying, 4 years ago, I was right here at this very place, at the birth of the tea party.

Nail that down.

Seems more like wishful thinking on the part of Fox

[KingRobbStark]

That doesn't matter. Wait untill RP wins an early state, and then people will start looking into him.

More like skewing the results with presumptive lead in questions. Screw them.
