Ron Paul Rising In The Polls–Despite Poll Bias
The carefully directed and screened land line telephone polls, which news outlets trumpet on a regular basis, are notoriously biased and red-lined (see HERE and HERE), so that broad segments of society are ignored outright, in these so-called “scientific” measurements of public opinion (especially is this the case for a candidate whom young or new voters find attractive, such as Ron Paul).
However, in spite of the suspect nature of these polls, Ron Paul’s numbers have finally started to rise, which fact, given the tendency of these polls to minimize Paul’s actual support, speaks VOLUMES for the recent growth in support for Ron Paul!
