Good to see you are mentioning Ron Paul's success.

However your questions were weighted towards

the other candidates.  So was not a realistic poll.

Glad to see Ron Paul moving up. Given that his message has largely been suppressed, this is a very good sign!

I'm pleased to see Mike Hukabee rising in the polls. He makes the most sense of all the Republican candidates. We need a president with stability and common sense.

I love Ron Paul!! He is the ONLY Candidate that is focusing on OUR PRECIOUS CONSTITUTION - OUR FREEDOMS - THE ILLEGAL IRS!! THE ILLEGAL NON-AMERICAN OWNED FEDERAL RESERVE BANK - OWNED BY NON-AMERICANS!! How many ignorant American Citizens are there? Way too many!!

My husband and I believe Mitt Romney to be the best candidate for the Republican nomination for President of the United States.  He has the background in finances, morals, and leadership to turn our nation back in the right direction.  He is the best of grassroots.  He believes in God, country, and family.  He has no skeletons in his closet.  He is honest and direct and has proven his capabilities.  Our nation needs him more now than ever before.  We believe fully that he can save this country from it's downward spiral towards self-destruction and moral depravity. 

Sincerely,

Mr. & Mrs. Donald L. Liebes

Richmond, UT

Please do another poll after Fred Thompson announces and has been campaigning a few months. This showed that conservatives want a strong candidate that wants things done different in Washington. Thanks

I think once the grass roots conservatives look at Thompson's record of voting for Illegal's and against American citizens, these poll numbers will change dramatically. Although he sounds good when he talks his voting record proves just the opposite. Please read this article:http://washingtontimes.com/article/20... "Thompson soft on illegals in Senate votes" We need someone that will be tough on Illegal Immigration and bring this country back to rule by the Constitution and that's why after comparing all the candidates I am supporting Ron Paul in 2008! He is gaining momentum in spite of the main stream media ignoring him.

Who selected these 39,000 participants? With every candidate a Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) member except Ron Paul, I without a doubt, question any national organization.  What organization did this survey? Aside from the national media that refuses to tell the real stories, I have not heard Thompson's name mentioned anywhere. This is media hype and election fraud when the truth is not reported. Quite frankly, it is treason!

 Google "Fred Thompson" and cfr. He has the same hidden agenda as Hillary and Obama, a merging of all the world under one "New World Order".

Everywhere I have gone people already speak of Ron Paul. The people need paper ballots to prevent more rigged elections. Ron Paul will then be the next president.

 

Again! What is the name of this so qualified organization that did this poll? You think they would at least put their name on the dotted line of such a fine piece of work.

Niidji, What in God's green earth would lead you to believe that anything

could be safe from corruption? The American politician in our country is sooo!

out of touch with original American values. There is, no going back, for them.

Time to clean house. The new may be inexperienced, but can they make 

thing worse?

Fred has what it takes...I have high hopes that the people will see he is a true statesman, not afraid to say what he thinks, and has a strength that does not have to be prettied up...take it from a woman, we know men who don't need make up.


What does not kill me will make me strong. I stand for freedom and justice...I am an American.

   I am so impressed that people are smart enough to listen to Ron Paul and that his support is growing so much. It is going to take MONEY to win this election though so as the saying goes put your money where your mouth is and contribute to Mr. Paul's campaign. Everyone else is bought and paid for by special interest groups. He is the only candidate I believe in what he says instead of the "politically correct" crap you get from the front runners. Get rid of the I.R.S.? Oh no I can't believe he said thatEmbarassed 

  Yes honesty, how refreshingSmile

"Fred Thompson Increases Lead Among Conservatives"

Huh?  I wonder how many of those so-called "conservatives" are aware that Fred Thompson LED THE CHARGE TO GRANT AMNESTY TO 20-40 MILLION CRIMINAL ILLEGAL ALIENS? 

 He is an OPEN-BORDERs, AMNESTY advocate!

He was the first Lt. for El presidente de norteamérica in the rush to push an amnesty bill over on the LEGAL United States Citizens - before they had time to even read the truth in that awful plan.

 El presidente de norteamérica is now trying to cover his tracks (at least until after the election) - but Fred Thompson is STILL an advocate for a permanent "underclass" of Legalized criminal aliens.

Pole wasn't really scientific as it was self selecting and not random as people chose whether to reply or not. The pole information is good, but lets be careful what we call "scientific" lest we be discredited, like the secular progressives.

Good to see Ron Paul move up but he is a Texan. I am still shell shocked by the last three Texans, LBJ, Geo H.W. Bush and lastly George W. Bush. It is difficult to believe what Ron Paul says? I need more proof

I also am very pleased to see Ron Paul "movin' on up". I definitely am not a Fred Thompson supporter. I don't want anyone as President who was on the Council of Foreign Relations. I just don't trust them. All you Ron Paul supporters, just keep pushing him and if it is in the Lord's plan Ron will be the next President. Art LeBeau, Villa Ridge, MO
