“Those numbers seem really off for Thompson in Iowa. This race is so volatile I am beginning to believe that you cannot know what is really going on from the polls.”
I agree. I find it hard to believe that only 3% support Thompson, and I’m a Huckabee guy. This has got to be flawed.
I will be curious what Rasmussen shows when he starts polling again after the Christmas holiday. No pollster is perfect, but I tend to find Rasmussen a little more credible.
Thompson is spending a great deal of time on the ground in Iowa. That has got to bring his numbers up.
“Thompson is spending a great deal of time on the ground in Iowa. That has got to bring his numbers up.”
Actually, this is the reason he is sinking in Iowa. He was surging in early summer when he was hiding somewhere. As soon as he went to see voters and campaigned his poll numbers went down. Similarly, every time he got “major endorsement” (like NRLC), his numbers went down.
Apparently, there is some sort of inverse logic: exact opposite is happening all the time. He has great message. It is just that the messenger is wrong.
That and Paul going from 4% in the previous poll to 10%? I would not put too much stock in this poll.
