Ron Paul, the once-forgotten presidential candidate, is picking up steam in Iowa and now appears poised to overtake frontrunner Newt Gingrich, according to a new survey released today from the left-leaning Public Policy Polling. The poll finds support for Gingrich has slipped to 22%, with Ron Paul just behind with 21%. Mitt Romney trails in third place with 16%. That's a five-point drop in favorability for Gingrich, who has raced to the top of the Republican presidential field over the past month. PPP found Gingrich's favorability numbers have fallen 19 points over the past week. Meanwhile, support for Paul is on the rise, particularly among younger voters and voters who identify themselves as "new." Among likely caucus-goers under age 45, Paul leads Gingrich 30-16. The numbers are nearly flipped for caucus-goers over age 45. But what Paul's fans lack in age and experience, they make up for in enthusiasm — 77% of Paul supporters say they are definitely going to vote for him, compared to 54% for Gingrich. Interestingly, Romney's support is also stronger than Gingrich's in Iowa, despite Romney's relative absence from the state this fall — 67% of Romney supporters say they will definitely be voting for him. In fact, there is strong evidence that Romney actually could have been a major factor in Iowa this year, if he had not stayed away from the state. As PPP notes, only 44% of Romney's 2008 supporters plan to vote for him this time — which means if he had just managed to keep his support from last time, he would be leading in Iowa by now. The PPP survey finds the rest of the field largely unchanged. Michele Bachmann comes in fourth with 11%, down from 13% last week. Rick Perry stayed stagnant at 9%, apparently unaffected by his controversial gay marriage/war on Christmas ad last week. Rick Santorum came in with 8%, while Jon Huntsman rounded out the field with 5% support.

These polls are likely more accurate than the election results ! Geez, I hate the election cycle. I see those around me rooting for their longshot horse to cross the finish line in the lead. And it almost makes me ill to see these folks get all worked up, filled with hope, only to be let down every election. If their guy happens to win he never does what he promised just like the current occupant and all of the previous puppets.
I won't be let down one bit. The movement he's creating has *finally* taken root. Everyone on 4um knows once one becomes "aware" there's no turning back. Win, lose or draw, RPs effort this year is simply outstanding.
I'd like to see him walk in to the next debate with a 357 and shoot the other candidates and the hosts - blow the smoke from the barrel and say - Black that out CNN-FOX-ABC.
LOLOLOLOLOL!!!!! Doug, you are the most consistent poster on this board!!!
Thanks, and Merry Christmas - JT !
And all the best to you and yours! Let's enjoy what we have for as long as we can!!
Man, I toss that thought around in my head quite a bit. I don't have anything against fun or having a good time. But truthfully, I'd feel guilty going to my grave leaving my offspring to deal with these cocksuckers having never given them a go. And, since I can't get the world to quit the system so it will collapse I think we're going to have the fight.
i'm with you, Doug.
you can't fool me mcCarthy
Yeah, I used to get so pissed off at the Ferret. He's been pretty mild since returning ... probably got his balls snagged in a tree !
nah, they are so big thay made me a branch manager.
you can fool the gullible. i have your gps on speed dial.
I suck up to no one in here, and I don't care what you think of me. Now, where the fuck is that shrubbery?
you're a lying scuzball in this 4um until you can demonstrate otherwise. do you think EVERYONE in here forgot the last (s)election cycle ? you're a Traitor and a two-face and until you own up to what you are/were then that's what you always will be. no revisionism allowed here while i'm around.
You mean last time when I donated for the ad in the paper supporting Ron Paul in the primary? You mean THAT election? Ron Paul is the only honest candidate in this election cycle. Turns out he was the only one in the last one too. Now, if you were not such an antisocial son of a whore, I might share why President Obama has pissed me off over the past couple of years; but as I said, I don't suck up to anyone. Especially someone with a bully's chip on his shoulder. Dose this mean you can't find a shrubbery, or you just don't want to bring one?
how in the name of everything remotely rational can you support Ron Paul and then turn around and run your COI into the abyss of a fObama ? or a mcCain ? or a bush or clinton or a carter for that matter ????? do you even have a core principle you spineless sorry sick jellyfish ?
Who died and appointed you the forum's Judge Cotton Mather? Firat A K A Stone can't stop calling me a Satan loving Witch for being a Wicca practitioner, and you take up the chorus with a kangroo court of an inquisition. I'm still waiting for that shrubbery.
you lying commie scuzbag son of a whore bitch Traitor ! you fuck, you hide, you obscure, you lie and you deal deceit. not here. not on this site. no more. not without getting called on it.
E10th and Oak, near Wayne Morse's statue I'll be there 10 AM I'll be at my usual spot helping set things up to promote Ron Paul. If you want me, come and get me.
you've never been remotely difficult to find.
Indeed. And I've also nearly died for what I believe. Regardless how you feel about that issue too, I'm not known here as a coward, the sort of thing that dies a thousand deaths. I just want one death, the one everyone gets at the end of their life, and if I get it in the commission of fighting for what I believe in, so be it.
Amen.
