Ok, lets take a look at some other well recognized polls; and by the way national polls don't matter for *any* of the candidates. Whoever loses momentum in the early primaries is done, whether its Ron Paul or Rudy.

New Hampshire, Ron Paul: 7% November 4th
Of course these numbers are far from impressive, however Ron Paul is in third place in terms of fundraising. I expect that money will push him into the double digits.
Will he win? Who cares. The reason he ran in the first place was to make the Republican front runners uncomfortable and look like the politicians that they are. At the same time he has shown that there still are people in Washington who have values and won't re-adjust their views every election.
