Ron Paul Supporters being dishonest?
Has anyone else noticed the odd high votes in any online polls? It seems to me either ron paul supporters are just good at filling them out or someone is putting more than one vote in.
I have to agree, maybe all the supporters are online! LOL

no. fact - ron paul has raised huge sums of money off his internet base(avg donation 60 dollars ) - fact ron paul is the most visited candidate site
fact -ron pauls you tube channel is the most visited site out off all candidates - fac
fact ron paul wins all internet polls and electronic polls because the majority of his support today is online where as other candidates support is offline and that is why ron paul gets 86% of the vote online and 8% offline -
just being here are yahoo answers looking at all the paul supporters shows this to be true -
watch my thumbs up - I will probably have 86% compared to 14% down if you leave this question open for 3 days
new addition I love being proved wrong a recent clip from a ramussen polls show he is a wild card and nobody really knows what his support is
In fact, Thompson now trails Ron Paul who earns 8% support in the latest poll. Paul is viewed favorably by 36% of Likely Republican Primary Voters and unfavorably by 57%. The Texas Congressman brings a surprisingly large campaign bank account to the state and his campaign will present an interesting wild card for voters and other candidates.

I haven't noticed the online polls, but they aren't really a factor. Maybe they are overzealous, maybe they are just "good at filling them out." He still isn't a top contender, but where the rubber meets the road is the voting booths.

Polls have no relevance until election day, that is the ultimate poll. Remember Gore and Kerry "thought" they were ahead, based on polls.

Paul may be more popular than you think. The press has not been giving him a chance and he is rarely given interviews. But whenever votes are counted he appears to do respectable. I believe he is attracting the vote of the angry voters who are fed up with politics and want a straight talking guy... even if they disagree with some of his ideas.

If you do some proper research you will find the opposite is true, indeed many online and RL surveys have been purposefully skewed against Paul, for example not giving a option to vote for him, then including a 0% figure in the poll results.

Is it that the tree cant be seen from the forest with all the political trash talk out their . I think we do not do our own research into these people but take others talk instead.

No, more of us vote on these polls than the supporters of other candidates.

And if you check, all of these online polls only allow you to vote once.
So all those conspiracy theorists can.........
