Ron Paul Wins Nationwide Zogby Poll by Double Digits
Posted on November 19, 2007 by Matt Letten
A recent national telephone poll conducted by Zogby appears to be good news for Ron Paul. Thousands of staunch Republicans, most of whom do not use the internet regularly, were polled by telephone recently. In a blind poll they were given the option of 4 candidates; A,B,C, and D.
Candidate A is a 10-term US Congressman from a large Southern state who is an advocate for a smaller government and individual liberty. This candidate believes in strictly following the Constitution and has never voted to raise taxes. He has never voted in favor of the war in Iraq or the Patriot Act, and wants to bring troops home as soon as possible. As a former doctor, this candidate has delivered more than 4,000 babies. One of this candidate’s goals is to return America to the gold standard, and he believes that the current monetary policy needs to be drastically overhauled because of the dollar’s decline.
Candidate B is a former governor from a Democratic state in the Northeast. Before that, he was credited for essentially saving the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. He is a Mormon and family man who is considered a moderate-to-conservative member of the GOP. While Governor, he signed the first state laws in the nation requiring all citizens of this state to obtain health insurance. He is a strong supporter of keeping troops in Iraq although he has been critical of how the war has been handled.
Candidate C is a former two-term senator from a Southern state who was a long-time lobbyist before running for public office. He was chief Republican council for the Congressional committee that investigated Watergate in the early 1970s. He was an actor playing supporting roles in several major motion pictures before entering the Senate, and returned to a prominent role as a New York City prosecutor in a popular network television series after leaving office. He has mostly supported the war in Iraq, but has said he would have managed it differently.
Candidate D is a former two-term mayor of a major city in the Northeast, and is considered a moderate member of the party on social issues. As Mayor, he presided over a dramatic drop in crime in his city, and is best known for his leadership in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. He established a worldwide security consulting business after leaving public office at the end of 2001 He has been a supporter of President Bush since leaving office and supports the war in Iraq.
Ron Paul is A, Mitt Romney is B, Fred Thompson is C, and Rudy Giuliani is D. The respondents were not given the candidates names. This poll was done based strictly on who the candidates are, and what they stand for. Ron Paul came out with 32.8%. Next in line is Not Sure with 20.8%, followed by Giuliani with 18.6%, Romney with 15.1%, and Thompson with 12.6%.
