****Yea, right... In a country where 90% of the people have never heard of Ron Paul (yet), 47% say they won’t vote for him.****

Or to put it another way, Ron Paul has the support of 50% of the people who know about him. I imagine that most of the 47% against RP are democrats that would never vote for a republican.

Bogus pole. It’s probably more like 65%

Pole=poll. Sorry, in a hurry this morning.

I’d say that, other than Hillary and possibly McCain, the candidates do not have the name recognition to make such a poll relevant. Go up to 20 people on the street or in a mall and ask them if they know who Ron Paul is (or Fred Thompson or Barack Obama or Chris Dodd) and you will get more incorrect/”don’t know” answers than you will correct answers.

>>Forty Seven Percent of Americans ‘Definitely’ Won’t Vote for Ron Paul<<

I don’t believe it because I don’t believe 47% of Americans know who Ron Paul is.

Sounds like a good question for a Free Republic Poll.

I wouldn't vote for him. But I can't say I never would.

I can see being so fed up with the other candidates and so eager to make a protest that I'd vote for someone who I'd never really want to see in office.

I sure hope 50% of those that know about him support him, because that "know about him" group should be getting a lot bigger soon. He's starting to spend some of those millions on campaign advertising ($500 came from me!).

Your tag line sums up the reason for my support of Dr. Paul. The rest of the field, democrat & republican, will keep us on the same path to ruin we've been on all my life. We need a fundamental change in direction, and Ron Paul is the only one who'd try to make it happen.

Optimistic about Dr. Paul's chances? I wish I could be. He's got a remote shot at the GOP nomination, and he sure has my hopes and prayers, but I expect hitlery will be facing julie annie, mutt romney or thompson next year - none of whom I could bring my self to vote for.

Ron Paul doesn’t see polling data anywhere in the Constitution, and as such it does not exist.....
