You will never see this poll in the mass media. They continually take Ron Paul's poll numbers when polling (if they even allow him mentioned on the list when polling) and leave them out when figuring up the percentages.
This just shows what his supporters have known all along. People like him and will vote for him if they think he can win. Topping some of these polls is likely to have a snowballs effect and if he wins Iowa or one of the other early states, he'll probably sweep the whole country.
If only the election was held on the internet. We'll see if anybody actually goes to vote when it counts. I remember seeing a recent straw poll result where Paul won but only carried large numbers in online polls while Romney won based on who showed up in person to vote.
He supporters get out to the polls too, the only question is will there be enough of them.
I like him but no way he will be the candidate
If Ron Paul was a bit younger, and spoke the way he did 5-10 years ago, i would give him a shot. Thats why he was soo hesitant in running, because of his age and the pressure these campaigns put on a person. Rand Paul should had ran, to pick up some popularity and name recognition for 2016, 2020/.

It's too bad because the Republican field in 2016 will be really strong actually. Paul Ryan, Marco Rubio, Rand Paul etc would all make better candidates than these guys but I think they figured they didn't want to run against an incumbent. All 3 of them are young so 4 more years in public office will build their experience and support bases up. I always vote for the Libertairan candidate anyway, but knowing they never win I would have much preferred to see one of these guys go up against Obama.

Mass Media's CEOs have no interest in allowing him to be president, which is why they only push people they think can be defeated by Obama.
