    Latest Iowa Poll Has Ron Paul In First Place

    Young voters and independents are key to Paul victory this week

    A new two day tracking poll from Public Policy Polling finds that Ron Paul is still leading the race in Iowa just one day before voters take to the polls.

    The race between Paul and Romney is still tight with Paul holding at 20 percent, according to the poll, and Romney at 19 percent.

    The survey also finds that Rick Santorum is enjoying a late surge in popularity and currently stands at 18 percent. Newt Gingrich is at 14 percent, Rick Perry at 10 percent, and Michele Bachmann at 8 percent.

    Unlike the numbers released last week, and the fudged mainstream media reports on them, this poll takes into account Ron Paul’s popularity with non-Republican voters.

    “Paul still has a very decent chance at winning on Tuesday” PPP reports. “It just depends on whether his unusual coalition of young voters and non-Republicans really comes out to caucus.”

    “Among actual Republican voters Paul is tied for 3rd place with Gingrich at 17%, behind Romney’s 21% and Santorum’s 19%. But with independents and Democrats who plan to vote, which we peg at 24% of the electorate, Paul leads with 30% to just 14% each for Santorum and Romney.” the report continues.

    In summary, Paul can win in Iowa if young voters and independents turn out.

    “Paul’s unique appeal could confound some of the usual patterns about who turns out for these contests.” PPP writes.

    Paul’s appeal among young people was confirmed once again in the first ever ‘Social Primary’, a study analyzing the popularity, receptiveness, interaction, network reach and trust of candidates across different social media channels.

    The study, carried out by consultancy outfit Sociagility, finds that Paul tops the social media scorecard and reports a “strong, positive correlation between social media performance and voting intention in Iowa”.

    Individual results were as follows:

    Appearing on CNN’s State of the Union with Candy Crowley yesterday, Paul commented that realistically he doesn’t expect to finish lower than second place in Tuesday’s Iowa caucuses.

    “I may come in first. I may come in second. I doubt I’ll come in third or fourth,” Paul said. “I would say the people are with me on this, and the momentum is going to continue regardless of what happens and what place I am Tuesday night.”

    When asked about the possibility of a third party run, Paul commented “I’m essentially tied for first place. Why would I even consider doing anything like that?”

    “I have no plans of doing it. We’re doing very, very well. People should just be a little bit patient.” The Congressman added.

    So that means you re-fudged the polls ?

    "Unlike the numbers released last week, and the fudged mainstream media reports on them, this poll takes into account Ron Paul’s popularity with non-Republican voters." end quote.

    Do you know that Paul # s take in corn and cows most likely to vote in a caucus. ?

    If we cant trust the poll data reported..then we cant trust that Paul is ahead and going to win.

    He is falling or trending DOWN ..not up for the 1st time.
    Get used to it.

    What you avoid is the fact Santorum is gaining and Paul has lost support

    None of these will ever be President but it does guarantee Obama a 2nd term.

    Rasmussen poll just out today shows that a generic Republican candidate would beat Obama 47% to 39%. That's an 8 point lead for whomever the Republicans choose for the November showdown. So nice dreaming there, but obama has seen his last daze destroying America.

    Santorum threw a hail Mary, and has shot his load in Iowa. Forgive the mixed metaphore, but he went to all 99 counties, and broke the piggly bank. He won't be able to duplicate this anywhere else.

    How about YOU asking a question that's relevant? That makes no sense.

    No dreaming. Obama has a lower rating than Carter had. Obama has nothing to run on. All he has is Chicago style gutter politics and character assassination.

    That will not get him elected twice.

    No it is relevant because it shows Obama has nothing to run on. That is why Obama and Reid are trying to set up a do nothing congress. Problem is the people know what they are doing. The democrats and Obama will be seen as the obstructionists party.
