Ferd,

These RP supporters are amazing. They ignore any scientific polling and cling to voluntary online polls and straw polls that can be influenced by the campaigns organizational drive to get supporters to vote.

I have yet to see one respond to my many posts regarding his measley one to three percent support among Republicans in every scientific poll.

It is as if they wish to be delusional.

This is the latest CNN poll showing trends. Paul has remained at 1-2%, while Thompson is gaining!

Don't confuse the Paulites with a scientific poll. They are blindly clutching to voluntary online polls that an organized campgain can skew and organized
"straw polls" subject to the same.

They have an amazing way of ignoring these posts and facts. Apparently the kind of ostriches that only raise their head out of the sand to see what they want to see.

By the way. Here is the difference between myself and the delusional Paulites on this forum.

I am a realist. I will not try to spin the actual status and standing of my canidate in the race.

Fred Thompson is second in all of the REAL polls right now behind Rudi BUT I understand that this is the honeymoon period. He has not yet been tested as a campaigner and debator.

We will have to see if he can hold his own in debates with his fellow canidates and out on the road with stump speeches drumming up support.

You will not see any distortions of his popularity by me based on voluntary online polls that can be maniuplated. I will face the reality of how he is doing throughout the campaign.

I think all the polls are probably worded to give the outcome they want.

Scientific polls can be influenced by the way questions are asked, no doubt. However compared to the manipulation done in voluntary online polls they are amazingly pure and accurate!!

In the case of Presiential preference there is little in the way of wording that can skew the poll as the questions are pretty straight forward. It is when polls are taken regarding issues that the wording is extremely importanat and can skew the results.

There is a website called "real clear politics" that the last few Presidential election cycles has taken all of the scientific polls and averaged them together for a composite. That composite has been pretty accurate. They do this weekly so you can see trends and changes capturede across the board by many of the scientific polls.
