Ron Paul polls best among independent voters!
Favorable/Unfavorable
Ron Paul 32%/31% (+1)
Obama 44%/49% (-5)
Romney 34%/40% (-6)
Huckabee 24%/38% (-14)
Palin 33%/56% (-23)
Gingrich 24%/51% (-27)
This bodes well for Ron Paul in 2011:
* if Obama has no real primary competition, then Ron Paul can win the GOP nomination riding the independent vote
* Ron Paul is the most viable GOP candidate in a general election, followed by Romney
* Palin and Gingrich aren't viable at all, and Huckabee is weak

OTHER FACTS TO PONDER
* Ron Paul can win the Iowa straw poll in August 2011. His main competition is Romney, Huckabee, and Pawlenty.
* Ron Paul was able to out-fund-raise even John McCain in the 4th quarter of 2007. He can do better in 2011, and a $10 million money-bomb is already set for December 16, 2010, the 237th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party. Only Romney can compete or possibly exceed Ron Paul in fund-raising.
* There is another big straw poll coming up in mid-September, the Value Voters Summit, Ron Paul can win this. If Huckabee is serious about running, he needs to win or do well in this event.
* If Rand Paul can win, then Ron Paul can win.
* Ron Paul now has good domestic issues for TV debates, unlike 2007. Ron Paul can talk about auditing the Fed and auditing the SEC.
* Ending the war is a lot more popular among GOP voters now than it was in 2007, for many obvious reasons.
