National :)

National, sorry I didn't add it to the post, it is in the title :). Edited it to put in the post itself!

I don't think Reuters does state polling.

How much have we gained since their last poll?

[rawful]

I get an error trying to pull up the stats. How did he do vs. Obama?

[FreedomProsperityPeace]

I don't like that Perry and Bachmann are so close behind him in this poll.

wow huntsman at 5%??

[bluesc]

wow huntsman at 5%??

He's surging!

Nah, it's good if electorate is splitting. Once Ron surges after Iowa, he will almost certainly be 2nd nationally and competing for 1st.

yeah he's fast becoming the Romney equalizer

Yeah, I got the same thing. I don't know if they even polled him head to head.

[LeJimster]

Ron's nationals are lagging behind the key states still. I think Gingrich's support is starting spread to other candidates as they refuse to get behind Ron Paul right now. I don't expect Ron's national polls to look much better until after Iowa/New Hampshire. I'm expecting a big jump in January.

This is much better than that WSJ/NBC one last night that had the grinch at 40. How do they justify these wild differences?

One more good one and Ron will crack double digits in the RCP average for the first time.

Huntman dropping out will be good for us. I know a few Huntsman supporters who have Ron as their second choice

we should be courting huntsman to join the ron paul campaign team and give his endorsement. Would be great before iowa but more realistic after iowa! He would be high level in a ron paul admin!

Never in a million years will that happen. Huntsman is all in for NH and his Dad did a half million dollar NH ad buy.

The only good national numbers do us is that they bring in donors and media attention. The real key are the Iowa and NH numbers. Some of the latest of these show us close to first in Iowa and gaining in NH.

[TER]

These numbers are very encouraging. :) Of course, there is still much work to be done. :D

And if we continue to work hard, Iowa will turn into New Hampshire, and from there on out, the battle for delegates shall begin in earnest. We still have much to see before the next President is sworn in, of this we can be sure. 12% in the national polls can become 32% in a matter of weeks. We need to keep hitting the phones and donating time and money. We must continue to be ambassadors for Ron Paul, and clearing up the lies and distoritions being fed by the media. We should be educating those around us, and helping one another. This is the one chance we may have to save this country from self-destruction. For the future of my children, I beg you all, to continue to fight and not give up!

[Fermli]

bump.

nice 12% for Paul =)
