Ron Paul is making significant strides, once considered an “outside shot,” he is now producing numbers and fundraising that rival front runners in the race. Paul’s performance in recent straw polls highlights his growing influence among voters, positioning him as a legitimate contender.
According to data from Ron Paul’s campaign website, he has consistently performed well in straw polls across the country. In head-to-head matchups, Fred Thompson is the only candidate who comes close, with a narrow 12-13 advantage over Paul. While these numbers may be boosted by local grassroots movements, they still point to an undeniable reality: Ron Paul is a serious factor in the race.
Dismissing Paul’s rising poll numbers would be ignoring the very data that reflects his growing popularity. As more voters make their voices heard, Paul’s presence in the race continues to challenge the traditional frontrunners.
