Ron Paul rises in Iowa polls
The latest American Research Group poll shows that Ron Paul has actually risen from 4% in Iowa to 10%.
Just four days ago, a poll ARG took Dec. 16-19 showed Dr. Paul with the support of just 4% of Iowa caucusers. Four days later, a poll taken Dec. 20-23 by this same polling organization shows him at 10%, more than twice his previous support level. The poll shows nearly all of Paul’s main opponents dropping in their support, including front runner Mike Huckabee who lost five points to 23%, down from 28% four days prior. The only main opponent who rose was Mitt Romney, whose support rose four points after an 11 point drop from their prior poll. This is most likely a bounce after a fall due to the controversy regarding Romney’s religious beliefs.
This same poll found that even though Huckabee’s support may have dropped roughly 5%, out of those who said they would vote for him, 88% said that their vote was definite. That was the highest voter loyalty out of any of the candidates. The actual poll data can be found here.
