Ron Paul Poll Spamming Getting Out of Hand
Paul has passionate supporters and a large online following so it isn't surprising that he does well in polls of informed voters. Most people who don't support status quo Republicans are going to side with Paul.
I expect he would do well in unhackable debate and candidacy polls here, but the EE doesn't represent the average voter. Online polls tend to be inaccurate and any poll giving a candidate from this field >50% is probably flawed.
