How about a Conservative/Libertarian targeted poll?
Here is how bad it is for Paul.
Hot Air is a non-scientific on-line conservative poll.
But it is a very large conservative poll and they make a real effort to only let those conservatives vote once.
I think it is a very good snapshot of conservative voter enthusiasm.
Over 7500 ballots were cast is this December 2, poll.
3896 (50%) Conservative ballots
2610 (34%) Very Conservative ballots
766 (10%) Libertarian ballots
329 (4%) Moderate ballots
115 (1%) Other ballots
19 (0%) Liberal ballots
Gingrich 49% 3764 votes
No one else is even close.
Three way tie for a very distant second place:
Perry 13% 981 votes
Romney 12% 891 votes
Cain 10% 745 votes
Three way tie for last place:
Santorum 6% 440 votes
Paul 5% 404 votes
Bachmann 5% 368 votes
So with Libertarians making up 10 percent of the vote, Ron Paul comes in at 5 percent?
Now here�s the kicker:
The HotAir pollster was asked why he included Palin in a survey question, now that she�s out.
This is why:
Two choices for President:
Gingrich 79% 5393 votes
Romney 21% 1427 votes
Three choices for President:
Gingrich 42% 2863 votes
Romney 14% 944 votes
Palin 44% 3013 votes
It's something how many of you talk how worthless the political polls are unless of course it shows what you want to see. Then you whoop and holler, "look at the polls,..look at the polls".
