Well, I’m guessing you don’t realize that we’re talking about 2 different things.
There was a straw poll and there was a phone poll.
Ron Paul got 82% in the straw poll and 12% in the phone poll.
Lots of FReepers are mixing up polls. The straw polls were not even Republican Party, the were by the “National Federation of Republican Assemblies” who held a “2011 NFRA Presidential Preference Convention”

They held non-binding straw polls for guest attendees, but the official delegates endorsed Rick Santorum.
