If you were extremely generous you might say he has gone from 1% to 5% or so. really not all that relevant compared to the candidates up around 30%.
The Gallup poll in July had Paul at 3%. The Gallup poll this week had Paul still at 3%
Giuliani, Romney, McCain, Huckabee, Thompson. All these candidates are more known and better liked.
