Correct me if im wrong, but its an unfavorability poll and ron paul is in last. Isnt that a good thing? Why would this seem manipulative other than having the numbers decend than ascend?

Well..... you believe this poll so that means you have to accept that votes so far are as believable - if you don't accept that then there is no discussion to be had - you would just be choosing to believe what suits your point of view. If the Republicans in all the votes so far have not shown Ron Paul to be most favourable by actually voting in numbers large enough for him to win, then what is the point you are making?

ETA, why were CNN 'forced' to admit this? Who 'forced' them to? When they don't show footage you think is favourable people say it is because they are against him, when they do then they must have been 'forced' to???? If they didn't want to show this poll, they wouldn't have shown it - they did so where was the force applied?

I would question it more if it wasn't shown just once and no more that evening and was extremely hard to find on their own website.

They invested money in a poll with a partnering organization, hence they had to show this at least once..edit on 15-2-2012 by rstregooski because: (no reason given)edit on 15-2-2012 by rstregooski because: (no reason given)
Well, for me, it was the title to the thread that brought parties into it. Also Paul's fight right now is to win the nomination of one party, not the nation.
So why are we dragging political parties into this?

The republican establishment has got to realize that Ron Paul is the only way to beat Obama. They can dig and dig all they want but Paul is clean apart from some racist news letters which I believe are a sham. All the other candidates cannot withstand anyone going and fact checking all the terrible bills and actions these guys take contrary to their oath to the constitution! We need to uphold the constitution we would be fine.
