Washington Post-ABC News General Election Poll Shows Ron Paul at 21% If He Ran Outside Major Parties

On December 20, a Washington Post-ABC News Poll was released for the general election presidential race. The poll assumes that Ron Paul were running against both major party nominees, and tested that scenario against an Obama-Gingrich race and also against an Obama-Romney race. No matter which of the two is the Republican nominee, Paul is at 21%. See this story.

The results: Obama 42%, Romney 32%, Paul 21%, other or undecided 5%. Alternatively, Obama 43%, Gingrich 32%, Paul 21%, other or undecided 4%.

  1. I’d love to see Ron Paul run for President as a minor party or independent candidate if he does not get the Republican nomination (which unfortunately, he probably will not get), especially if he ran as a Libertarian Party candidate.

  3. How many TRILLIONS would the Donkeys give to Paul ???

    DIVIDE AND CONQUER.

    WORKED IN 1860 AND 1992.

    Can work in ANY gerrymander election.

  4. The PPP survey asked about Rocky Anderson and Bernie Sanders, but not Jill Stein. It would be interesting to see what would happen if they asked about more than just three candidates, but I suppose it is better than asking about only two. Shaping up to be an interesting election.
