Have You Seen The Latest Ron Paul Rasmussen Poll?

Question

http://www.newswithviews.com/NWV-News/news17.htm

Public opinion service Rasmussen Reports recently released data from its October 12-14 polling that indicates that Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul leads his GOP opponents against Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton among likely voters ages 30-49. He is the leading White House contender for the key demographic, polling higher than Clinton among baby boomers. Congressman Paul polls in at 47%, compared with Clinton's 44%, among likely voters aged 40-49.

I regret to inform the Ron Paul supporters that the author of this article, a Mr. Jim Kouri {real name???} may have written numbers that are not actual.
I spent several hours @ Rasmussen yesterday, without finding those numbers.
Thank you Elway, for pointing that out.

However here is a recent article you can believe:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071115/ap_po/ron_paul;_ylt=AsW6zUr9FPuyycGm...

[excerpt]
Poole said she found herself agreeing with him on monetary policy, the war and other issues.

"He would turn this country around in the way that it needs to go," said Poole, a semiretired mortgage broker. She and her husband now travel to several states, she said, "promoting him everywhere we go."

Answer 1

Sounds fantastic. I know that I and a bunch of my friends and family are all voting for him. It is time to clean up America and get rid of all of the Republican and Democrat corporate whores.

Answer 2

NOPE!

I wouldn't vote for Ron Paul and this site outlines many of the reasons why!

Answer 3

the a number of opinion polls selection particularly extensively. finally, what's mandatory for a candidate to proceed working is finance and business enterprise. Assuming that Romney wins large in New Hampshire, it relies upon on what happens in South Carolina. actual, human beings are not prepared to financially help a campaign for terribly long if their candidate isn't triumphing or performing nicely. Gingrich is faltering, yet his vicious assaults against Romney would reason the race to open up. finally, i think of it truly is Romney's race to lose, yet he won't be prevalent enthusiastically by using many interior the Republican occasion.

Answer 4

I am ecstatic that Ron Paul's campaign is attracting so
many younger voters .I hope that the poll signals the
fact that Ron Paul will garner more votes during primary and caucus season than previously thought .Go Ron Paul go !!!!

Answer 5

Hmm... Went to Rasmussen and this heading was what I was greeted with, showing the latest poll results:

Election 2008: Clinton 42% Giuliani 39% Ron Paul 8%

And in searching for your stats on Rasmussen with a fine tooth comb here's what I found, which gives a quite different story about Paul and Clinton:

Poll Matching Hillary Clinton and Ron Paul Tells A Lot About Clinton, Little About Paul
Sunday, October 28, 2007
A recent Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey featuring a match-up between Hillary Clinton and Ron Paul highlights one of the perils that comes from overanalyzing poll results between candidates with different levels of name recognition.

In that survey, Clinton held a fairly modest 48% to 38% lead. But, a careful look at the results tells us a lot about the public’s opinion of Hillary Clinton and virtually nothing about their opinion of Ron Paul.

As for Ron Paul, 42% don’t know enough about him to have an opinion one way or the other. He’s one of 435 Congressman whose life is way below the radar screen for most Americans.

A look at the crosstabs demonstrates that it is attitudes towards Clinton that are driving the numbers in this polling match-up. Among all voters, Clinton attracts 48% support. Among the voters who have never heard of Ron Paul or don’t know enough to have an opinion, guess what. Clinton attracts the exact same total--48% of the vote. So whether or not people have heard of Ron Paul as the challenger, support for Clinton doesn’t change.

Among the 51% who have heard of Ron Paul but don’t have a Very Favorable opinion of him, Clinton attracts 49% of the vote.

The only noticeable difference to be found is among that very small slice of the electorate that has a Very Favorable opinion of Paul. Seven percent (7%) of the nation’s voters fit this description and they prefer the Texas Congressman over the Democratic frontrunner by a 70% to 27% margin.

So, outside of a small group of avid Ron Paul fans, support for Senator Clinton is unchanged whether or not the survey respondent has ever heard of Ron Paul.

~~~~~~~~~~
In conclusion, it would be great if you had an actual Rasmussen link to the information you've given us. Try as I might, I could find nothing about it on their website. Perhaps I somehow missed it and you will be more skilled at finding this nugget on their website. If it is the most recent polling result, it should be easy to obtain. Thanks.

Answer 6

Nice. I will just add that if this election turns out to be another farse the people need to revolt because this could be the last chance for an honest government.. Keep an eye on the electoral colleges.
Giuliani is stick a fork in him done. This Kerik scandal will be his undoing. I see a Paul vs Clinton in our future.

Answer 7

It's a great indicator! I'm sure as more people get to know him, more often than not, they will support or consider him 2nd choice. He's officially polling 5 and 6% nationwide according to CNN opinion polls and Zogby respectively (phone polls, which I still consider archaic, but there is no better method presented).

He's close to beating out Thompson and McCain, and above Huckabee in Nevada, and should be at 15-18% soon in NH (according to Zogby, on a Sean Hannity interview, boy did Sean look dumbfounded!)

EDIT: Sorry Ron is at 7% according to Zogby, a jump from 1% to 7%, that's incredible!

Answer 8

Answer 9

"Ron Paul is the only Republican candidate who can beat Hillary Clinton," claims political strategist Kent Snyder.

You've gotta love that quote.

Answer 10

He'd be a shoe-in if nobody but people age 30-49 were allowed to vote.
