Yes but notice the first few numbers - only 7% have decided. there is stll 71% that have no even come close to deciding, and 22% that are leaning toward someone but not sold yet. Of the Ron Paul supporters, how many do you think are definately decided? I'd say almost all of them.

Agree. Not all that significant of a poll at this point, I think. Just wanted to throw it out there.

he got 4,502 NH votes in the general election in 1988. 236,000 voted in Republican primary in 2000. So he'll almost certainly get at least 2%.

Anyone know of any RP campaigning action going on in New Hampshire?

Another bogus poll.

Exactly based on what insight do you have that this is a "bogus poll"?

Another bogus poll.

Its not bogus, its probably quite true. It just means that the vast majority of New Hampshire people have probably not heard of Ron Paul, or have and have not decided yet or really looked into him. The numbers (71% undecided)seem to show this. That being said, its probably not completely accurate. Any poll with a sample size around 500-600 (which is the norm for scientific polling) has a 5% variation or so, so chances are his real support is higher. Most of the undecided voters probably just heard familiar names, and at this time, would support them if the election way today simply because theyve heard of them. That just means we need to further get Ron's name out. Do not worry. The poll is certainly not bogus, rigged, or staged, but it doesnt not mean anything bad, and i actually see the 7% fully decided as a very good number (since most Ron Paul supporters in the 2% are probably 100% decided on who they will vote for.) His message just needs to grow! Remember, theres still 3 debates left... and the vast majority of america hasn't even really started paying attention to election '08 yet. Romney polls so high because of the name recognition factor i just talked about - and he was the governor of a nearby state.
