Ron Paul Rising in Straw Polls
July 7, 2007
Straw polls are unscientific in that only those that want to participate are counted in the poll. At this website, we tend to avoid straw polls because of that fact. But of course in a hypocritical fashion, we have our own straw poll on our website and cite it quite often :-)
Anyways, we report these straw polls to you because you can only be counted once in a straw poll. For Ron Paul to do as well as he is in these straw polls would indicate a couple of things. The spamming nature of the Ron Paul supporters online is not as bad as it seems. Supporters exist.
Cobb County Straw Poll - Atlanta, Georgia - Ron Paul placed 2nd with 17% of the vote.
California Republican Assembly Straw Poll - Ron Paul garnered 12% of the vote.
Utah Republican Party Straw Poll - Ron Paul placed 2nd, ahead of all other candidates except Mitt Romney.
