Mason-Dixon Polling & Research released results of a New Hampshire presidential primary poll on June 8. The poll was conducted by telephone June 4-7. It includes 361 Republican and Independent voters who said they would likely vote in the Republican primary, and has these results: Mitt Romney 27%, John McCain 16%, Rudy Giuliani 15%, Fred Thompson 12%, Mike Huckabee 5%, Sam Brownback 1%, Duncan Hunter 1%, and under 1% for Ron Paul, Jim Gilmore, Tommy Thompson, and Tom Tancredo. Undecided was 22%. Although the pollster did not ask about Newt Gingrich, 1% of the respondents named him anyway.
The poll also included 411 Democratic and independent voters who said they would likely vote in the Democratic primary. Results were: Hillary Clinton 26%, Barack Obama 21%, John Edwards 18%, Bill Richardson 9%, Joe Biden 6%, Chris Dodd 1%, Mike Gravel 1%. Dennis Kucinich was under 1%. Undecided was 16%. Although Gore was not named by the pollster, 2% of the respondents mentioned him anyway.
funny how the “scientific” polls place Ron Paul at the bottom when all the “non-scientific” debate polls place him at the top, also odd how this is attributed to a few spammers yet those same spammers have somehow managed to bring Pauls campaign contributions into the millions (not far behind the big 3 and way ahead of all other 2nd tier candidates) and apparently were also responsible for hiring an overwhelming number of people to show up at the NH debate with “Ron Paul for President” signs… not bad for a computer nerds living in their parents basement!
I will vote for Ron Paul. Sorry if he doesn’t fallow the current agenda. I would say he speaks the real American peoples agenda. He has a strong message. American people are sick of the neocons clapping for torture..
Ron Paul 2008!!!!!
Something is off with this poll. The sample size is quite low for firm with the resources of Mason Dixon, the undecides are 150-200% higher than ‘normal’ and higher than any other NH poll since 2006(1) (I mean, 22% is a statistical tie with Romney for the lead!?). I just don’t buy it.

I used to live in NH and still have many friends there. Almost everyone is a Ron Paul fan. Also interesting is the odds given for Dr. Paul are being slashed every other day. The old Doctor is now 7-1, Latest from Sportsbook.
Sounds a lot like they used push polling via land line phones. Very questionable. I wonder if the days of traditional “scientific” polling are over. These polls seem more and more like propaganda.
Ron Paul registering less than 1% does not seem plausible. Compare with the audience at the debates, which clearly supported Ron Paul, or compare with any other verifiable and measurable support.
If Ron Paul does not win the Republican nomination, I will write him in. And hopefully we still have elections and not some sort of nebulous auction of sorts. He is in my opinion the most worth and intelligent candidate. I also have faith in my fellow citizens to improvise and adapt to the possible changes and “quickenings” that will as a matter of course force us to rethink our entire current socio-economic model. I hope we can emerge from the darkness! But we must realize that our current model is not something that can survive.
Are there any polls which correlate debate viewership with candidate preference? Most people have still not heard Dr. Paul’s message. Yet, he clearly has what, in the investment world, is called “momentum”.
His donations have been increasing geometrically, and his army of volunteers is likewise growing. His supporters have been spamming his campaign with recurring donations, and that money is about to start doing some “talking”, especially in key early primary states such as the proud and free state of New Hampshire.
His anonymity will soon be history, and the Ron Paul rEVOLution will move from the internet to the polling booth.
I hope this continues. Then the media will look like the utter fools and election fixers that they are. Funny how no one reports on a poll of over 15,000 people that has Ron Paul ahead by a mile, yet they report on the poll of a a whopping 361 people. MSM we get it. You are a bunch of biased, unworthy useless bunch of junk. We are done with you. All Internet news all the time. That this article was written and nothing about the INSANE amount of popularity that Ron Paul is generating is insulting, manipulative, and deceiving. Shame on you! Why not talk about who your cousin Hattie thinks will win? How about listening to the people? Oh, yeah, you work for the government don’t you? I am appalled and fed up.
P.S. How do I get on the Ron Paul spammers list? I have sent him money, I have contacted his campaign. My email address is all over the place supporting him. How come no one has contacted me to join in the spamming? Ah well, let’s all just spam the heck out of them at the polls and show them!
ROMNEY SO RULE’S AND HE WILL STOP YOU LIEBERAL’S!!!111 LIKE HE STOOPED THEM IN MASSACHUSETT’S~!!!!! NOBOYD WANTS YOUR TOOTY FRUIT “WDDING” AND PEACE “NICK” MARCH ANYHOW, SAVE IT FOR FRANCE!!!!!!!
What is this crap? I’ve got a couple of Ron Paul spammers with nothing better to do than leave replies on any article they can get their hands on and some liberal posing as a republican trying to make Romney supports look stupid (nice try).
If you don’t trust this poll, just check the other 5 credible polls out their and they’ll tell you the same thing — nobodies heard of Ron Paul! He’s a great liberatarian thinker, but has zero exposure up to now.
And for Romney-hater, try and make it a little less obvious when your faking a republican.
I will be voting Ron Paul weather he is polling 50% 0r .00001%. Put that in your polling pipe and smoke it!!
Ron Paul…ha ha ha ha ha ha
Oh wait RP is being supported by who? and why? His spammers & bloggers are busy. Note that I do not call them supporters because they usually promoting some other agenda. You rarely see them blogging left wing sites…Only Republican supportting events.
If RP has a prayer of winning he has to win independents and Dems and Rep. Why are the spammers & bloggers only focusing on conservative sites.
Ron Paul is so radically different than all the other candidates (on both sides) that it may take a few more elections and a whole lot of pain before the general population actually gets what he’s saying. Imagine a person running for President who does not want power, money or status. A person who understands that complex principal that a nation cannot spend more money than it takes in. A person who will always error on the side of personal freedom and the constitution. A person who does not want to force feed democracty to every Tom, Dick or Harry nation that is only looking for a handout. A person who actually understands and appreciates the “greatness” of America – it’s people and it’s sovereignty. Gee – now someone like that I could actually vote for. The Paulites are inspired and will have their day (someday).

Hello! Good Site! Thanks you! xjsqmzlecxru

There are many many independents out there who support Ron Paul (I’m one of them). And apparently there are a lot more independents now that people are dumping the GOP in droves.
Thanks for this site!
