He is probably a few points higher in the first few states that vote first due to the ads he has been running. Still 25+ days left. It seems he keeps going up.

Many Dems do like him do due to his opposition of the Patriot Act and withdrawal of our troops immediately.

If I cared what the polls thought Why would I be cincerned with who is pulling 7%
2007-12-04 01:03:33 · update #4
7%, while many people mid 30s and under dont have a landline phone, and are never polled, others have never voted, and even others have voted forever but were simply never polled.
I know the effect poll numbers has on people on the internet, and at home, because they dont think about the unrealistic group of folks polled. Who knows, they may think 50,000 people are polled instead of 500.
But since so many take the polls so seriously, this is a good thing (tho I dont care much about polls). I would love to see those numbers rie dramatically in t he next few weeks as giuliani is pushed out.
I personally think Ron Paul can capture 25% of the vote if we were to vote today. So many voters would come out of the woodwork.
Once he gets on tv more, and people learn about his message of Freedom & Liberty, that number can rise.

Jesse Ventura also had "no chance" to become the governor of Minnesota. Less than a month before the election the "polls" had him in 3rd place, 21% of the vote; never higher than 3rd so he was designated a "spoiler" by the media.
He ended up winning, with 37% of the vote (gee, wasn't that outside the statistical margin of error?!?!) vs. 33% for the 2nd place finisher.
What the 7% for Ron Paul tells us, is that AT LEAST 7% will vote for him. This is true for any candidate who is an outsider or refuses to salute to the party line.

I like what Ross said, but I can't seem to have Americans ability to know honesty, when it hits them in the nose in my + book. I, by the way, am a democrat who has jumped over and will never come back until the dems offer a decent candidate.

At this rate, 7% would be his lowest possible turn-out in the first primaries. The thing is, I think his supporters are less likely to be considered "likely Republican primary voters" and like you said, he's been able to get ads out in Iowa and New Hampshire.
I don't want to get excited yet, but I think he's gonna make a lot of news with some "surprise" results.

Who cares what the polls say. Vote for who you want. Don't let the corporate media pick your candidate.

That sounds about right, what % of Dems are willing to cross over?

Yeah boy - he has Mighty Mo on his side. If this keeps up, he'll be at 10% by the time the election happens...
Uh...
That means 90% will still hate him.
Just thought I'd clear that up for ya'. lol

sadly he doesn't have a chance unless he runs independant...
I'm independant, and would consider voting for him.... but if he doesn't get the nomination and won't run independant, then I have to vote democrat because I no longer trust republicans to do the job.
