I'm not believing Huckabee and Tommy Thompson (the "chipper" as in injectable microchips), are ahead of the good doctor.

I don't like to sound like a conspiracy guy, but as time goes by I have less and less faith in their "scientific" polling. As far as I'm concerned, it's nothing but propaganda until proven otherwise...

It's a racket...

[MsDoodahs]

Correct: it's nothing but propoganda, intended to influence the genpop.

[dspectre]

It is interesting that Rudy's support is eroding...

But it is hard for me to trust any of this, To say that RP only got a 1% boost, after all of this is beyond me....

I must have no understanding of the demographics in the United States, or this is beyond criminal....


Wait? If I remember correctly, they were removing RP from some of the polls because he wasn't a serious candidate, right? Wow I'm so glad those people have our interest at heart and decided to do our work for us....

Cook is a very well respected political analyst. All polls this early mostly reflect name recognition. One, Dr. Paul doubled his support! Ok, from 1 to 2% More importantly is shows him moving up and the top tier moving down. Since we've not run ads or anything like that yet, we shouldn't rush to kill the messenger.

[UCFGavin]

more and more unsure people as time goes by. thats 24% we gotta get out to.

[FluffyUnbound]

The polls aren't completely unreliable, but it does seem odd to me that Paul is behind Huckabee.

Has anyone ever actually met or spoken to a Huckabee supporter? Ever? Where are they all hiding, to get him up to 3%?

Bradley in DC,

Thanks for the post. I like your posts and information you give in general. I'm just venting a little frustration.

...as his name and platform recognition increases.

Wait until we have another big war debate in September (about the surge). This will go BADLY for the neo-cons!

As long as Ron Paul remains the only republican war opponent, and the most principled and reliable war opponent running for President, I think his numbers will increase while others will fall.

We just need to get out there and increase his name recognition! The internet & letters to the editor are good ways to do that, beyond talking to friends and family.

Keep hope (for America) alive!!!! :D ;) :D

Bradley in DC,

Flattery might not get your everything, but it'll get you (us) pretty far.

[LibertyEagle]

Yeah, for the first time, I actually feel like Dr. Paul is getting ready to blast off. If we can just blow through the next barrier level. Anyway, that's how I feel.

Let's all get busy on Letters to the Editor.
