Thread: WHO'S on Second!!! No one's saying can it be Ron Paul..

Poll: Romney leads New Hampshire, Huntsman in third, Perry in fourth
By Alexis Levinson - The Daily Caller | The Daily Caller – Thu, Sep 22, 2011


Mitt Romney still holds a commanding lead in New Hampshire, a state where Perry has barely broken through, according to a poll released Thursday.

The Suffolk University/7News poll found Romney leading with 41 percent of the vote from independents and Republicans. His closest competition is Ron Paul, with 14 percent, followed by Jon Huntsman with an uncharacteristically high 10 percent. Perry, who has topped most national polls since announcing his candidacy, does not even break double digits, getting just 8 percent of the primary vote.

Romney continues to have high popularity in the state, with 69 percent saying they hold a favorable opinion of him and just 20 percent saying they hold an unfavorable opinion. Voters are still much more ambiguous when it comes to Huntsman: Twenty-six percent say they have a favorable opinion of him, and 24 percent hold an unfavorable one. Another 24 percent have never heard of him, and 26 percent have yet to form an opinion.

Approximately one-third of New Hampshire primary voters have either not heard of Perry or have yet to decide what they think of him. Among the remaining voters, 36 percent say they have a favorable opinion of him, while 32 percent say they have an unfavorable opinion.

In New Hampshire, Romney is still seen as the favorite to win the election, with 28 percent saying they expect him to be the next president. Twenty-two percent expect Obama to win re-election, and 12 percent say Perry will be the next president. Thirty-two percent are undecided.

In the 400-person sample of likely New Hampshire primary voters, 50 percent say they are Republicans, 42 percent unenrolled or independent, and 6 percent Democrats. Ideologically, 49 percent describe themselves as conservative, 42 percent as moderate, and 7 percent as liberal.

That demographic breakdown has some New Hampshire strategists dismissing the results.

“It’s crap,â€

Where is number 2

"Where is number two?"

Shhhh! Nothing to see here, move along, move along.

Well, atleast this time around he has been included in the debates. The MSM has gotten out the kid gloves and has practiced walking on eggshells since the last go around.

To his credit, Ron Paul was the only candidate in the debate that mentioned ending birthright citizenship.

In total honesty not happy with any of the candidates however looking back over each ones history I believe Ron Paul has been the most decent/ honest in his life, now that does not mean he can be elected due to age and personality, but I believe a Ron Paul type is needed for our country short term, it will take some drastic steps including large drops in the stock market to change things and there are those in power not willing to take the loss.

Good point NewMexican. RP did mention "birthright citizenship" and does deserve credit for having the fortitude to bring up the subject. Yet I have still to see much written about his having brought this unsavory subject up in the debates. I don't watch the boob tube but would I be wrong to presume the chatter box has said little if anything concerning this issue?

This issue is dangerous perhaps in more than just one direction? If the public and media were to start pulling more at the strings that hold the bundle together, would we also wander over to the citizenship reqirements for a POTUS? Looking under rocks could become contagious and revealing. JMHO

So far I am not "for" anyone but I can say that I have written off a couple. I am still listening and assessing.
