3. Bias
Curiously, the Wall Street Journal shows a slant on Paul's candidacy. The candidacy itself is described as "grass-roots", "second-tier" and an "insurgency", rather than adjectives I'd prefer to be used or ones that might be more neutral. It is also described as "[continuing] to build steam", which might be a self-fulfilling prophecy because of the positive media attention this might receive. Except for one reference to him as "Rep. Ron Paul", Paul is called as "Dr. Paul", a "licensed obstetrician", which, though indisputable, conceals the suspicion-inducing "Representative" title below the trusted, valued "Doctor". Furthermore, the only quotes in the article come from Paul's campaign spokesman, with nary a word by a Paul foe. This covertly subjective reporting is something that should be approached with a grain of salt.
Answer: No. Internet polls represent the views of the libertarian echo chamber online, not actual opinion. You Paul supporters can delude yourself all you want, but his message of hate will never gain traction in America. I hope
