Analyst Predicts One Million Ron Paul Supporters Online by 2008

Ron Paul's online support is continuing to grow based on evidence provided by online analyst.

Washington D.C. (PRWEB) June 10, 2007 -- An online analyst at USAElectionPolls.com observes that Ron Paul, a Republican presidential candidate, is continuing to grow in popularity.

Despite languishing near the bottom of the presidential polls with 1%, Ron Paul has become an Internet phenom. As a favorite of the youthful 18-29 year olds, he has become a household name for those that frequent the popular Web 2.0 websites such as YouTube, MySpace, and Digg.

"Ron Paul's online support just continues to grow and there is no signs of letting up. If anything, it will grow beyond our expectations," says David Terr of USAElectionPolls.com. The web site ran a poll on their website and found roughly 33% of their visitors responding to the poll learned about Ron Paul within the last 2 months.

"That is a 50% growth rate over the past two months. If you extrapolate that over the next 6 months, his familiarity online would grow by another 350%. Websites have already began to censor Ron Paul comments on their forums because the supporters have drowned out the voices of the supporters of the other candidates. Imagine 10 times that," says Terr.

There has been little evidence to suggest that Paul's popularity has improved because of the internet but USAElectionPolls.com warns that it is only a matter of time.

With five million on hand (over $4 million in just the last quarter), we can now anticipate that Ron Paul's message of liberty and small government will be funded by next January with $50 million or more from his supporters.

Ron Paul is entering the top tier of GOP candidates. He will be able to run ads in the early states to compete directly with the biggest GOP candidates.

I will concede that both of his supporters have spent a whole lot of time on the Internet. I’ll give them credit for that.

Hmmmmm yes - who was the last internet phenom and how did he fare once the primaries got started?

He needs to better articulate his foreign policy. He doesn't want Amercia to be the world's 9-1-1, but he sounds like a kook when he says it.

Ron Paul taking on Rudy has helped him a lot. I also hope Duncan Hunter will do the same. Hunter and Paul are the only two candidates I see actually debating anything. That does not mean that I do or don’t agree with what they have to say...but at least they are saying something.

Ya know, PRweb is a corporate pay-for-ink newswire service. I wonder why AP or Reuters hasn’t picked up this big news yet....just wondering since they are reporting on Fred Thompson and even Duncan Hunter occasionally.

After Friends Of Ron massacred that FNC post-debate poll, don't be so sure. It's not all just a half-dozen hacker with broadband and some shell scripts freeping an online poll. That was a cellphone SMS poll, not so easy to overwhelm.

No, RP isn't the frontrunner. But he's rising fast. I don't think the rest of the second-tier is moving up comparably in money or supporters.

The next quarterly FEC fundraising report should be interesting.

I will support Dr. No with $$, and any other way I can. By your post, ElkGroveDan, I guess you’re not a Ron Paul fan. Then tell me what is so attractive about the guy you’re supporting right now.

I’d say those who voted him for Congress, about 5 Paulist Freepers and 1000 DUmmies and KOS kids each handling several aliases.

There are that many people who think that the attack on the Twin Towers was justified?

Now if he can figure out how to appeal to the 60,000,000 voter’s he’ll need to have a chance.

Ron Paul polls at 1% or less.

This is proof that his supporters are jousting with windmills.
