I’m for Fred, but these numbers are absolutely insane. Giuliani with a big lead? Mitt Romney with single digits? McCain way ahead of Romney?
They must have gone into a New York bar and polled the first 13 people they saw.
The reporter was probably Jayson Blair, assisted by “special consultant” Dan Rather.
there is 7 months until the Iowa primary, Fred still hasn’t announced as of yet, Fred mentioned that when the race first started, he was told he needed 100 million dollars to run, and that be waiting until now, he saved 50 million dollars and he still is running a strong 22%.
I like Ron Paul (and strangely Mitt Romney!), I have no doubt about his big “C” conservatism, however, I doubt he will make it very far so Fred it is, it should be pop some popcorn time when Fred and Rudy go at each other
Actually Romney is in single digits or the low double digits in most of the national polls:
Fox News/Opinion Dynamics (6/27) - 8%
Rasmussen Reports (6/26) - 12%
CNN/Opinion Research (6/25) - 9%
Newsweek (6/23) - 12%
Cook/RT Strategies (6/19) - 7%
USA Today/Gallup - (6/18) - 7%
Harris (6/14) - 11%
American Research Group (6/13) - 10%
NBCNews/WSJ (6/13) - 14%
Quinnipiac (6/13) - 10%
LA Times/Bloomberg (6/11) - 10%
Associated Press/Ipsos (6/9) - 10%
McLaughlin & Associates (6/5) - 8%
Average across all polls: 8.3%
More likely they went into the CBS lunch room as asked everyone to voice their preference for Democrat and Republican candidates.
Certainly a statistically valid cross section of America don't you know?
No, the poll represents a ‘national’ look. This is simply what we all forget so easily. Many likely voters , more than represented say on this forum, are not even aware of Freepers. They see a name, respond on a general level. Nationally, Rudy does have a lead. When Fred actually gets in over the 4th or whenever, we will be able to see how he does nationally. My guess is that both of them will be on the ticket.
