Following a second place finish in the Republican caucus in Nevada, Texas Senator Ron Paul was his with a one-day internet cash infusion of $1.25 million, indicating his popularity may be showing signs of improvement. As the Republican primaries focused on Florida and further to the Super Tuesday primaries February 5, Paul has stayed his course on preaching returning responsible for many individual freedoms back to the states.
In Florida, Paul is realizing one of his best poll rankings, according to poll results posted at usaelectionpolls.com with six percent, slightly less than the seven percent held by former Tennessee Senator and actor Fred Thompson. The Republican focus on their religious roots helped split John McCain and Mike Huckabee in South Carolina's primary, but as the troupe moves further south, more eyes appear to be landing on the administration critic, Ron Paul.
Nationally, Paul is still holding onto last place but the popularity of long-shot candidate for president is holding at around six percent. It is unknown where supporters of Duncan Hunter will head following his withdrawal from the race for the nomination, but some analysts are claiming that many of his followers are heading towards Paul's camp, offering hints as to where the recent infusion of cash came from.
Paul has been a consistent critic of the administration and many of its economic and domestic policies, as well as criticizing the war in Iraq. He is mostly supported through internet blogs and is capturing the attention of many of the more liberal Republicans.
