According to the latest poll from Public Policy Polling, former House speaker Newt Gingrich holds just a one percentage point lead over Congressman Ron Paul among likely Republican voters. In a Republican presidential contest that to date has largely been defined by the range of dramatic pendulum swings, a new poll coming out of Iowa just three weeks before the Iowa caucus reflects the rise of the Libertarian-leaning former Texas Congressman Ron Paul, vaulting Paul to a statistical tie for first place with national frontrunner and former House speaker Newt Gingrich. The poll, conducted by Public Policy Polling, positioned Gingrich with 22 percent of the vote and Paul with 21 percent. Romney placed third with 16 percent, according to a report by the Daily Caller.

After looking at the occupy crowd, I would not hold my breath with that statement.
It’s anyone’s game at this point.
Shhhh... don’t tell anyone. The Republican establishment doesn’t want anyone to know...
Its actually very, very bad news from the gops perspective.But it's actually very, very good news from a movement conservative's perspective, as Willard Mitt Romney is no longer even a factor in anyone's scenario.
Just the fact that Paul was almost 1st in it should have tipped you off.
Here's a rule of thumb, never bother reading anything on the net that promotes Paul, doesn't matter if it's an article, a poll, or anything else. It is total garbage not worth wasting even a few minutes of your life reading.
Hey Nanny-State Newt! “The eyes of Texas are upon you,” as Ron Paul is coming through the corn!

Ron Paul will never be supported on FR as he is a kook and his values are more in line with zero's than Conservatives. Ron Paul will never have support on FR.
Ron Paul bashes Conservatives much more than he ever bashes Liberals or zero.
That is all the proof you need. Ron Paul bashes conservatives and praises or agrees with liberals non-stop. The proof is in his criticism. He always criticizes conservatives, yet he gives a free pass to all liberal politicians and liberal media. He is a FAKE.
Yes but will Ron Paul’s supporters put down the pipe long enough to go vote?
Although I normally question liberal polling outifts...it would seem to me that liberals would rather have Obama face Gingrich in the general election than Ron Paul...and would fix a primary poll to benefit Gingrich instead. Just IMO
Ron Paul is a closet Liberal.
What would say are his liberal positions?
Rather than making blanket statements it would be refreshing to see someone give examples that could be examined and debated, rather than calling names like third graders
If Ron Paul wins the nomination, it will not only give us four more years of Chairman Obama, the Republican Party will be destroyed, and at that point you can kiss America goodbye.
Imagine RuPaul sitting down with Katie Couric and Stormfront being mentioned....or those pesky newsletters....or Screwy Lewy Rockwell the anarchist....or RuPaul’s appearances on Islamo-Nazi TV......
Utter disaster. Complete and utter disaster. This miserable old Jew hater will set the Conservative Movement back decades. Mark my words.
This miserable old Jew hater?
Please give examples of his hatred for Jews.
Welcome to FR! Always glad to have new Freepers to join in our discussion of what is important to each of us.
Develop a tad thicker skin, and keep in mind that the rest of us are doing the best that we can.
Ron Paul has his rock-solid supporters, and they are loyal to a fault.
On FR, Ron Paul is usually either dismissed or ridiculed, which tells me that many have taken the easy way out, and it is called peer pressure.
Most of us left peer pressure behind after our teen age years. Stick around, and you’ll see what I mean.
Well, let’s see, there’s taking money from Stormfront, accepting an endorsement from anti-Israel Code Pinko, there was Ron Paul calling the OWS fleabaggers “victims” (You know, the movement that was endorsed by the Communist Party USA AND the American Nazi Party).......Then, there’s those pesky newsletters....This has been posted thousands of times on FR, let’s not act like that this is the first time this has been mentioned.
But hey, it’s still a semi-free country. You support whomever you want and ignore whatever you want. I will oppose whomever I want and keep my eyes wide open.
Thank you, I agree with the above statement whole heartedly.
The thing is I am trying to Keep my eyes wide open.
that's why I ask questions. Your mention of stormfront brought me lots of info on the net. Yes He took money from stormfront
in a later interveiw he stated he thought their views were immoral and he didn't agree with them at all. Did he know who the money was from when it was accepted? I don't know.
Again the code pink thing is troubling, but I couldn't find where Ron Paul publicly welcomed their support.
“PPP is a Democratic polling company”
So I call BS!
