I love how the 1% poll in Iowa was taken during the same exact time period as the 10% poll in Iowa. They can't both be right.....:p

Wow, that is really off. I think everyone, including ourselves, is in for a big surprise in seven days.

[tmg19103]

When was this poll taken, 10 months ago? Too much.

Great they will never suspect whats coming and will be sleeping and drunk.

The more these polls come out the more we need to realize the Margin of error is like 20+%. After I think it was last week or the week before McCain was polling 6% and 22% in the same state and on the same week. I need to make a short video on this or something. Or someone who is really good at doing this needs to put together a short 2-3 minute showing how scientific polls are extremely flaw. I know Penn & Teller have already done a show, but seeing a little short video with simple animation showing that the margin of error is greater than the poll numbers themselves would be brilliant!

[Zydeco]

A poll being taken seriously that bears the name of a likely presidential candidate?

Imagine if there were a Putin Polling Company in Russia or a Sarkozy Opinion Research Group. We'd point at them and say "Banana Republic!"

[RP=RonPaul=RedPill]

lol

[RevolutionSD]

Yes this poll is right!
Even though my meetup group has grown by 400% in 6 months, people are dropping off the Paul bandwagon all over the country!

DAMMIT this election will render msm polls meaningless from here on!

[Ara825]

It must have been a mistake, someone just simply forgot to add the 0 bless there hearts. You know, human error and all that....LMAO

[brumans]

Does anyone seriously believe that Hunter has DOUBLE the support in Iowa than Ron Paul?

[literatim]

There is 7% missing in the total for Iowa and 9% for NH.

[PimpBlimp]

How is that even possible? I am not laughing at all.

[paulitics]

Didn't we get 9% in the straw poll? My estimate is we have doubled nationally since then.

[fortilite]

If Ron Paul gets 1% or less in Iowa I pledge I will purchase a subscription to the LA Times.

[skinzterpswizfan]

I am very confused by these results. They have him on par with Duncan Hunter; I just don't see how that can be right. Should be interesting to see just how right (more like how wrong) this polls ends up being.

[literatim]

It is what you call a weighted poll. They multiply the actual votes my some obscure number to bring out the results they believe are correct.

[constitutional]

If Ron Paul gets 1% or less in Iowa I pledge I will purchase a subscription to the LA Times.

ditto that. In fact, I will buy subscriptions for all my friends and family members.

I think you just described the pollsters and Old Media to a tee!
