Rand Paul Polls
Speculations on the 2016 election have Bush and Clinton favored heavily, but Rand Paul is not far behind. He certainly does not have any "mountains to climb," but he does have some people in his way if he wants to go to the 'ship.
I tend to view Presidential Elections similar as I see March Madness. Clearly you've got the top schools (Bush, Clinton), then come all the mid-majors, such as Paul, Rice, Christie, Rubio, and Cruz. They are the "anything goes" teams, or they'll do anything to win, whereas Bush and Clinton have the dynasty factor backing their game. Tournament, like the election has upsets each round, and right now is all talk and speculation of what could happen.
According to Real Clear Politics, Clinton is the heavy favorite, but in the general election, Paul puts up quite the fight against Clinton, but comes up short in the end (47-41). On polling site 270 To Win, Clinton is still the heavy favorite, but once again, Paul is not far behind. Nearly all polls I came across are predicting a Bush-Clinton election, but then again it is still early to tell, right now they are just the favored front-runners.
Basically from what I've gathered from the early polls and speculations is that Rand Paul still has a fighting chance. Walker and Bush are leading the race, but Paul is not far behind nipping at their heels. Needless to say there is plenty of work to be done to separate himself, but polls have high hopes for my man, Rand.

Do you read into these polls at all? If you were Rand Paul, what would your thoughts be on this? I have seen so many different polls that have Rand winning right now, to him only receiving 4% of the vote. What do you make of this huge discrepancy between polls?
ReplyDeleteYou mention how he has a fighting chance and I agree. But what do you think he can do to even have more of a chance or potentially win in the next poll?
