RP is on the upward trend in pretty much all polls, national and state, i just hope we stop returning to 1% and start inching are way to the double digits. :cool:

[slantedview]

I still have a hard time believing any of this stuff that puts Paul behind Hunter, Thomson and Huckabee. As for Gingrich, he's freakin not running, so I wish they'd kindly remove him from these polls.

That's been my feeling.

[bygone]

Including candidates that aren't running has got to be the most retarded thing I have seen in a long time.

Either way, our polling is still crappy. There is no way that TT should be 3 times higher than we are. We should be No. 3-4 for sure.

[Akus]

we better grow in geometric progression :mad:

[paulitics]

This is why we don't want Mccain dropping out. look where his votes go. I find it curious how 35% of Republicans now don't support the war, yet 90% want to vote for a neocon who will continue the war. I'm telling you guys, these polls are wrong. Undecideds should be MUCH higher. Something is way off.

No shit.

I havent heard anything at all from Gingrich running, it makes me furious that theyre adding big name neo-cons who arent even in the running.

Fred Thompson shouldnt be included until he commits either.

I think you would be suprised how many 80 year olds who's only form of television entertainment is reruns of the lawrence welk show are near a phone most of the day.

Gingrich gets a lot of FNC time.... he used to be on like everynight, and we all know that FNC ratings are #1 among 24 hour news broadcasts.

I wish this wasn't true, but, it is, lol. The more amazing part is these same people will make it to the voting booth!

Regardless of math, I've never really believed you can sample 500 people and apply the results to millions of people. I only have so much faith in polls, even if there was no manipulation of them.

Oh wait, there is no manipulation of them, right?

Still, they do have their effect in the media. You can hate MSM but at the end of the day if you want to change the polls the MSM is the biggest tool for that.
