No, but 22 points is.

The same phenomenon has been seen on the national level as well. Any ideas from forum members on why his favorability has finally increased? I can't pinpoint it to one specific event...

I think the romney people perceive Paul as some sort of ally since he's been knocking Santorum lately.

Whitney Houston's death being talked about 24/7 on cable news stations made people realize how idiotic they actually are?

Ron Paul is out of Clute, Texas and out Campaigning hard. The crowds have been huge, the word is beginning to get out not just in the State's he is campaigning in, but nationally as well.

Most likely because the other candidates haven't been attacking him and the media barely mentions him.
