1. conversely, what is the point of the polls?
2. Everybody knows those 2% 'polls' are bs- they're what the corporations want the masses to consider as being their 'true' popularity, when it's simply who they want to be popular. They (like Rupert Murdochs news empire) take 1000s of polls and pick to display the ones which suit them best (Rudy or Hilary).
3. Yeah poll like hitlerry because run by big bussiness and planning sold out america to global slave labor like clinton free trade and nafta scams
4. They are fund raisers. In fairness to Paul he is polling closer to 5% now. Still not enough to make an impact.
5. At least Ronald Paul has a lot of straw to put in the feed trough for his few followers.
6. actually he is at 7 points and with margin of error can be over 10%, and really has alot more support than that. there is a active suppresion of news going about Ron Paul but his revolution is happening anyway
7. Paul may not win the republican nomination. I can tell you this though...representative Paul is CONSIDERABLY higher in support than 2% of the general voting public!!!
8. He's polling at 6-8% nationally now.
