Ron Paul Wins by Double Digits with Religious Voters in Zogby Poll

Kurt Nimmo / TruthNews | November 19, 2007

In a blind poll commissioned by Jones Productions and TruthNews and conducted by telephone on November 14, potential Republican primary voters rated Ron Paul the most favorable Republican primary candidate based on his biographical details.

“Candidate A is a 10-term US Congressman from a large Southern state who is an advocate for a smaller government and individual liberty,” the short bio reads. “This candidate believes in strictly following the Constitution and has never voted to raise taxes. He has never voted in favor of the war in Iraq or the Patriot Act, and wants to bring troops home as soon as possible. As a former doctor, this candidate has delivered more than 4,000 babies. One of this candidate’s goals is to return America to the gold standard, and he believes that the current monetary policy needs to be drastically overhauled because of the dollar’s decline.”

32.9 percent of respondents from all included religious categories — Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish — rated Paul as desirable over the other candidates in the blind poll. Specifically, the poll results break down as follows:

Catholic: 30.4 percent
Protestant: 33.0 percent
Jewish: 17.1 percent

Paul’s results far outpaced the other candidates by a significant margin. For instance, “Candidate C,” Fred Thompson, described as “a former two-term senator from a Southern state who was a long-time lobbyist before running for public office” and “an actor playing supporting roles in several major motion pictures before entering the Senate,” received a mere 5.3 percent in the poll results, while “Candidate D,” Rudy Giuliani, a “former two-term mayor of a major city in the Northeast,” who “is considered a moderate member of the party on social issues,” trailed Ron Paul significantly, receiving 16.6 percent of the total.

In September, Ron Paul did surprisingly well in the Values Voter Presidential Debate, sponsored by the Family Research Council, a conservative, pro-family organization. While Mike Huckabee won the debate with 63% of the vote, Ron Paul came in second with 12%, far out pacing Rudy Giuliani, Fred Thompson, and John McCain, all who remained in the single digits.

Is Ron Paul a solid candidate for conservative and Christian Americans? Laurence M. Vance, author of King James, His Bible, and Its Translators, seems to think so. By “the Christian Right’s own criteria, their candidate ought to be Ron Paul,” writes Vance.

Ron Paul is a man of faith. He is a Protestant Christian and a regular churchgoer.

Ron Paul is pro-life. As a specialist in obstetrics/gynecology, he has delivered more than 4,000 babies. Dr. Paul is not just an opponent of partial-birth abortion; he is an opponent of abortion itself. He is also opposed to federal funding of embryonic stem cell research.

Ron Paul is a believer in family values. Unlike many Christian “leaders” and Republican politicians who have admitted to adulterous affairs and/or been married multiple times, Dr. Paul has been married to the same woman for fifty years. He and his wife have been blessed with five children and seventeen grandchildren.

As the Zogby poll demonstrates, Ron Paul is the candidate for Christians and conservatives alike, irrespective of the corporate media’s attempts to marginalize him in favor of so-called “mainstream” Republican candidates who do not hold conservative values.
