A new survey conducted by Public Policy Polling shows that Ron Paul now leads in Iowa just two weeks ahead of the crucial Republican primary, while Newt Gingrich’s campaign is in free fall.

“Newt Gingrich’s campaign is rapidly imploding, and Ron Paul has now taken the lead in Iowa. He’s at 23% to 20% for Mitt Romney, 14% for Gingrich, 10% each for Rick Santorum, Michele Bachmann, and Rick Perry, 4% for Jon Huntsman, and 2% for Gary Johnson,” reports PPP.

Support for Gingrich has dropped from to 27% to 14% in just two weeks.

The figures illustrate how Gingrich is likely to fade into the distance before the crucial primary takes place on January 3rd. The numbers also show that Paul’s fiercest rival is clearly Romney, meaning all energies should be directed to pointing out that, like Gingrich, Romney is a big government RINO Republican who supported a system almost identical to Obamacare.

Paul’s supporters describe themselves as more “solidly committed” than Romney’s, at 73% to 68%.

Paul’s aggressive work in Iowa has impressed voters, with 22 per cent believing he’s run the best campaign in the state, compared to just 8% for Gingrich and 5% for Romney.

Gingrich’s decline in Iowa has undoubtedly been influenced by powerful Paul campaign ads attacking Gingrich over his big government tendencies.

“Negative ads over the last few weeks have really chipped away at Gingrich’s image as being a strong conservative- now only 36% of voters believe that he has ‘strong principles,’ while 43% think he does not,” reports Public Policy Polling.

Although Paul’s support nationwide is significantly lower than both Romney and Gingrich, a victory in Iowa and a good performance in New Hampshire would be the perfect tonic for Paul to build momentum in other states going forward.

Two out of the last three winners if the Iowa primary, George W. Bush and Bob Dole, have gone on to be victorious in securing the Republican nomination.

Right as Ron Paul’s campaign peaks and he sweeps into the lead in Iowa, the corporate media and establishment neo-con Republicans have gone all out in a final effort to denigrate his candidacy.

Prior to last week’s debate in Iowa, Fox News pundit Chris Wallace ludicrously asserted that if Ron Paul is successful in Iowa, the results “won’t count”.

This was preceded by attacks from neo-con talking heads like Rush Limbaugh, who erroneously claimed Ron Paul was the least likely to defeat Obama when he is in fact the most likely to beat Obama in a head to head above all the other Republican candidates

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa --- Republican presidential candidate U.S. Rep. Ron Paul won 37 out of the total 60 votes cast in the inaugural Cedar Valley Tea Party presidential straw poll Tuesday night.

Placing second and third place, respectively, were former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum with 9 votes and former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich with 5 votes.

Voting took place in-person only at 7 p.m., with results announced at around 8 p.m. at the PIPAC Center, where the organization meets the second Tuesday of each month. The Paul campaign announced results in a press release late Tuesday, which were confirmed by Judd Saul of the Cedar Valley Tea Party.

All candidates currently competing for the Republican nomination were listed on the ballot.

The Cedar Valley Tea Party was formed in early 2009 with a mission to "convey meaningful conservative change at the local, state, and national levels by educating, motivating and informing the citizens of Iowa about relevant social and political issues affecting them today and in the future," according to the organization's website.

Full results of the Cedar Valley Tea Party presidential straw poll are as follows: Paul 37, Santorum 9, Gingrich 5; U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann 3, former ambassador Jon Huntsman 3, former Massachsetts Gov. Mitt Romney 2, and Texas Gov. Rick Perry 1.

I hope average Iowans are getting tired of being told that their opinions only matter if they vote for someone other than Paul. Basically, I keep hearing on the propaganda networks that it matters if Romney wins, it matters if Gingrich wins, and will be written off if Paul wins, because he is not a serious contender for the Nomination.

I don't know how long they can keep that shit up. I wonder if Iowa gets the same news feeds as elsewhere, because I'd be kinda pissed if I were a recent Paul convert there.

Cnn just showed a some tea party poll showing Romeny and Gingerich winning with Paul in 5th. Said nothing about the PPP poll. Then went on to say that Paul needed to be watched in Iowa and NH where he's doing very well. Cognitive dissonance anyone? They looked sad. LOL
