Ron Paul: Ron Paul Surpasses Fred Thompson in Most Recent Polls

November 13, 2007 -- ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA—Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul is rising in the polls after a record-breaking fundraising day last week elevated him to top-tier status in the media. Two polls released this weekend by the Boston Globe in association with the University of New Hampshire Survey Center, and the Marist College Institute for Public Opinion, both reveal Congressman Paul to be polling at seven percent in New Hampshire.

Seven percent places Congressman Paul in fourth place, surpassing former front-runner Fred Thompson in the key primary state for the Republican presidential nomination.

“Dr. Paul’s support is gaining rapidly,” said Paul campaign manager Lew Moore. “His unifying message of freedom, peace, and prosperity is bringing the Republican Party together, and it is showing in our fundraising success and steady climbing in the polls.”

The Marist telephone poll was conducted November 2-6; the Boston Globe, November 2-7.
