in the polls is Ron Paul doing good or bad?

Public Comments

1. he did better in the caucus than any poll had him at.... i expect this to continue
2. for a candidate that only had 3 supporters nationwide as some haters on here state, he still won 10% of the vote in Iowa however Iowa means nothing the entire state has lost all credibility and should be forced out of the union for supporting a terrorist
3. It depends. Are you talking about straw polls and internet polls, both of which have no credibility or merit? Or are you refering to polls conducted by reputable organizations that have both statistical validity and actually make realistic predictions? He's doing great in the former, not so well in the latter. Edit: Big ugly guy "the entire state has lost all credibility and should be forced out of the union for supporting a terrorist" You mean the non-Muslim Obama? Get real, asshole. Fact is, supporting Ron Paul, with his plan to pretty much open up Iraq as an al-Qaida training ground by pulling out all troops is pretty much a vote for terrorism. Open a book sometime and stop being such an uneducated bigot.
4. He's doing about 10% in polls But 10% won't get him anywhere
5. Not very well at all.
6. He made a few media guys believer's tonight...they were stunned at his strong showing.....Polling numbers are not accurate, they just like to refer to them when ron is at the lower end of them. but her clearly beat Rudy and is about to knock off McCain. in NH.
7. I like the man and his ideas on what needs done to turn this country around, but even if he were elected the congress wouldn't let him do what he wants! To your question, the polls are about the same for him!
8. Xialou - that is not correct. Iowa Polling had him finishing 5th - he finished 5th. In fact the only difference between Iowa polls and the Iowa caucuses was Thompson and McCain swapping places in a very tight race. Paul is polling very badly - his fans have tried to convince everyone that easily fixed straw polls and internet polling were more accurate - yet the Iowa caucuses matches the Iowa polling within standard margins of error. This is just one state - but nothing about it suggests that Paul's results in opinion polls are not going to prove an accurate forecast (as indeed they usually do - people wouldn't spend money on them if they always proved wrong). As Iowa was the early state where Paul was polling best - this does not represent a good result for him.
