These polls are polling the same registered Republicans who voted for incumbent Bush in 2004, so of course Paul is going to be "low" in these polls. And ever since then, this base of registered Republicans have been dwindling.
As usual, we have the obligatory Howard Dean comparison. There's no comparison to Dean here. Dean still ran a top-down campaign, many of his "volunteers" were paid staffers, and Dean didn't have a message that transcended the hardcore leftists who supported him. Plus he was toast anyway, because next-door neighbor NH voters knew his socialist record and he didn't have a prayer of winning there. With Paul, all he did was throw the message out there, and people came to him. In IA, you can register Republican right up to the day of the caucauses, and Paul's supporters are more enthusiastic than the other candidates. It's going to be January and it'll be cold. Will Romney, Huckabee and Fred's aging supporters show up in sub-zero weather?
Very non-factual and poorly written article here.
Yes! He's actually at eleventy-four percent in the polls!
See, it's a conspiracy. All the polling organizations got together and said, "Lets drive Ron Paul mad. We'll ALL depress his poll numbers all the time. But don't tell anybody. That should drive his supporters bonkers .... or more bonkers as the case may".
I can't wait for the caucus just to see this under-represented tripe go up in smoke.
