I'm impressed by how well Paul has been polling in the general election match-ups this cycle, I must say (not that I think those numbers would hold up in an actual general election between him and Obama).
I think someone (Meeker?) pointed out that since Paul's irrelevant - sure he's in third place in the primaries, but hasn't got a chance of moving beyond that - no-one bothers attacking him, so that probably helps.
And yeah, glad to see some sanity on Paul-Obama general election numbers. Perry is unelectable because he wants to dismantle Social Security but Paul supposedly overcomes this by, what, wanting to legalise weed and eliminate the nation's central bank? Come on, Paulbots.
Ron Paul does a lot of things that would earn him a lot of votes from liberals:
Opposes war (an area where liberals feel let down)
Wants to legalize drugs (liberals angry over the CA result)
Says what he believes
Many liberals would see him as the lesser of 2 evils and I'd say that many republicans aren't saying they'd vote Paul in this poll though most likely they would out of hatred for Obama.
