2012 GOP Presidential candidate Ron
Paul is leading Iowa according to a new PPP poll released yesterday
evening, with 20 percent of the vote. The survey has Paul also leading
among Independents and Democrats with 30 percent of the vote, more than
twice that of the nearest challenger.
“As
evidenced by the standing-room only crowds, Ron Paul has broad support
and a top notch ground organization,” said Ron Paul 2012 National
Campaign Chairman Jesse Benton. “Despite a coordinated assault by the
establishment, Congressman Paul is in the lead and headed toward a top
finish in the Hawkeye state.”
This comes on the heels of a CNN/Time poll which showed Ron Paul strong
against President Obama. Highlights from the poll include Paul besting
Obama 47 to 46 percent among those 65 years and older, said to be the
most reliable voters. Paul also beats Obama among persons who reside in
rural areas 52 to 44 percent and with Independents 48 to 47 percent.
