Newsmax’s Internet primary poll of the Republican race for president is released today – with more than 400,000 respondents to our non-scientific survey.

With 23% of the vote, Congressman Ron Paul wins our online survey. Paul has the most aggressive internet presence of any Republican candidate and has already won several online polls, not to mention raising $20 million last quarter, mostly online.

Pulling solid numbers behind Paul were Fred Thompson with 19% of the vote, and Mike Huckabee, a late rising star, with 16%.

Newsmax poll respondents believe Rudy Giuliani – with 28% of the vote – has the best chance of defeating Hillary Clinton.

The Newsmax poll shows surprisingly little support for former front-runner John McCain.

Among the Republicans listed in the poll results, Newt Gingrich has not announced that he will seek the nomination, and Tom Tancredo and Sam Brownback have dropped out of the race.

Newsmax will provide the results of this poll to major media and share them with radio talk show hosts across the country.

Newsmax reports have been cited by national major media, including Fox News, CNN and MSNBC.

Excellent result. Isn't it typical how they spin that Huckabee is "a late rising star" with 16 %, yet the guy that actually won, Ron Paul, is characterized as "aggressive".

Interesting, that 46% want new course in Foreign policy, but only 24% for Ron Paul.

Oh, yeah....FU FRANK!

Paul...
raising $20 million last quarter, mostly online

It's going to be interesting to see in the end just what percentage of money was raised online by all of the candidates.

I really doubt that many people are truly voting for Rudy. I just don't see it! We don't like him, on other boards I'm on the evangelicals can't stand him...WHO is voting for him?
