Rasmussen Analyzes Ron Paul Match-Ups With Clinton, Obama
Rasmussen Reports, one of the nation’s top pollsters, just analyzed the hypothetical general election match-ups between Ron Paul running against Hillary Clinton or Barak Obama.
Ron Paul gets 34% in a head-to-head match-up with Hillary Clinton, and gets 30% against Barak Obama. Among Republicans, Paul gets 65% against Clinton and 55% against Obama.
Paul has a favorable rating of 20% among likely voters nationwide. 38% have an unfavorable view, with 43% not sure. Paul is best known for his opposition to the Iraq War, while his pro-free-market and strict constutitionalist views are less known among voters.
Many Paul supporters may find these results discouraging, but they should not. The fact that this survey was done at all is a great victory, and the results are quite encouraging for a radical upstart campaign. Most people have now heard of Ron Paul, and one in five like him already.

In the first polls in 1964, results showed that Sen. Barry Goldwater as a Republican nominee would get about 21% of the vote. In November, he received almost 39% of the vote after a campaign based on fear and innuendo.
Ron Paul’s strong stand against pre-emptive war removes the most potent campaign issue used against Barry Goldwater - fear that he would get America into a war.
There is still a long campaign between now and a majority for limited government. Go Ron!

The only question I have is that the media has taken great pains to ignore Paul and tell us he has no chance so why would anyone take
the time and money to do this poll? He must have more support
than what people realize.
