Why Ron Paul has low polling numbers you ask? Listen to this

digg.com...

This is just ridiculous. I don't understand why they would set up the system in such a way. I mean, doesn't the phone have 10 digits? I think that's more than enough to cover each candidate.

Mind explaining what this is for those of us who can't listen to an audio file at the moment?

basically press a number corresponding to a candidate. ron paul was not listed. they stopped at number 7. they had more numbers to use but he was excluded.

Alright, so what kind of poll was this? Just some local poll or a national phone poll?

Just find it a bit amusing Paul supporters are always coming up with "reasons" why he isn't doing so well.

I think this poll has to be a joke or something. IMC Polling has to be a joke. Check out this article on their website:

It just doesn't seem to me that this is real. If it is real, it shouldn't be taken seriously. I don't even know who Vermin Supreme is, but i can guarantee you he's not going to be winning the primary in NH.

Ron Paul supporters are partly justified in a number of situations where it looks like he is being censored or held back from polls, for example, but jumping all over this polling place for being bad is not the right way to go. I think the website speaks for itself, and i think you'll find supporters of many candidates in agreement.

my cousin lives in NH
he said a polling company called him and asked which candidate he supported the most

they listed all the candidates but did not mention Ron Paul

He is doing very well. What I am getting at, is it may not be reflected in the polls because of the way the polls are carried out.

There are SO many ways to skew the voice of the people.

This is Straw Poll Voting. the people facing the screens are voting... over, and over, and over.

Thankfully, television is NOT the sole source of information, otherwise, there would be no Ron Paul supporters.

Push-button polls are meaningless; they're too unreliable.
