i am SO CONFUSED... everyone is talking about the greatness of RON PAUL, and I agree, but polls show he's last

Question

everywhere i go, i hear people rallying Ron Paul's name and I strongly agree with this candidates philosophy so I'm all for it, but whenever I look at the latest polls, they show that Ron Paul's popularity is less than 1%? something isn't adding up? help me understand what's going on??????

Answer 1

14 year olds can't vote and are not polled

Answer 2

The ruling elite fears Ron Paul. They know that if he is elected their days of raping and pillaging are over. If something is within the power of the presidency, Ron Paul will fix it. It it's not within the power of the Presidency, he will pressure Congress to fix it. He is a man who has devoted his public life to upholding the constitution and yes, he knows full well that the constitution is not a "living document". It should not be changed. He supports America and Americans. Please folks get the word out about Ron Paul and then support him and vote for him. The way many people see it, this is our one chance to bring our country back to what Thomas Jefferson envisioned. Don't throw it away by voting for one of the two parties talking heads. Ron Paul is for real and can be our president if only the masses will wake up, stop thinking that the corporate media outlets CNN and MSN or the Associated Press have Americans best interest at heart. Ron Paul needs your financial support and your vote. My grandchildren need for you to vote for Ron Paul.

Answer 3

Ron Paul is winning the polls that count. He has won more than half of the GOP straw polls and most of the online polls sometimes by 80%. These are polls where people cast their vote. The "polls" you are talking about are actually surveys. They call you on the phone and ask you questions. They aren't asking you questions because they are curious. They are asking you because they are trying to sell a product or politician. Know you know the difference.

Answer 4

On a light note:
The Media hasn't been fair to most of the candidates, because their bogus polls say he's not on the radar.

Before now, no one has really known who RON PAUL is, because the media only focuses on their celebrity all-stars, Rudy , Hillary, and Obama.

The internet has shown considerable support for RON PAUL, because the more people read and talk about him online, the more they realize how much they ACTUALLY AGREE on a candidate, and a lot of his ideas. (None of these being shown on T.V. or anything, so it's definately online).

The cool thing is, he has SO MUCH undetected support, and he's JUST BEGINING to gain some spotlight on the news, so the more his supporters keep the good work up, the sooner the ball gets rolling.

So GOOGLE him, definitely YOUTUBE him, and hop on board people!!!!

Answer 5

It's called misinformation and deception. Ron Paul won half of the straw polls, he's won almost everyone online poll, he's won every text message poll that Fox news conducted, and he's got the most youtube subscribers, the most myspace friends, the most searched on the internet, the most songs written about him, the list goes on and on. Don't let the mouth piece talking heads decide for you, although he has gotten a lot more coverage lately because he raised 5 million this quarter and 4.2 million in just one day! See for yourself.

Answer 6

Who has been talking about the greatness of RON PAUL? His delusional, brainwashed cultist supporters? Sure, they generate a buzz on Y! Answers, but that is the only place you will find them. I've never met a Ron Paul supporter in real life and I doubt I ever will. They are all mad sheep, like those idiots you see campaigning for Lyndon LaRouche, another candidate for president who has no chance, trying to suck other people into their cult.

The ironic part is, I actually agree with a lot of Ron Paul's beliefs. I have no problem with the man, it is his fanatic followers I can't stand. I don't even want to know what his campaign meetings are like - probably a bunch of 20-somethings hopped up on peyote or shrooms chanting in a language only they understand.

Answer 7

You are not looking at the latest polls. He is now at 5%,
which is 4% more than Jimmy Carter was at when he started running for President.

Answer 8

Ron Paul will do great, the companys that poll call random people who dont vote and say the only name they can remember, Ron Paul raised 4 million dollars on monday. Tell your friends so we can free our country.
2008=1776

Answer 9

Well the polls come from (what those who know anything about statistics) what we call a convenience sample.

See....they only poll people with land lines in certain demographics.

Now...with technology being what it is today, many (many many many) people don't even have a land line, only cell phones. Well they don't call cells phones.

Not only that, but many times they ONLY ask about their "chosen" ones...you know the ones that the main stream media has been cramming down our throats. So, they don't even ask about Ron Paul.

It's ok. Ron Paul has support that they don't realize. :)

Find out why Foxnews (if you can call them that) discredits their own polls and Hanity says they they are "just for fun" when Ron wins?

Ron has more support than they realize. AND WE VOTE!

Answer 10

What's going on here is that the vast majority of people have concluded that Paul is a nitwit and his program is silly -- as have I.

Answer 11

huh...which 'everyone' is talking about the 'greatness' of Ron Paul. He is loudly criticized from the left...his own party considers him bananas, if he sees 1% of the vote it would be a miracle. Don't waste your time on him, focus on the real candidates...
