See, this is part of what is wrong with this nation. Ron Paul is a guy who actually knows what many of the problems are and has rock solid ideas on how to correct them. He is not your typical politicians who tosses about empty phrases like hope and change without offering any actual suggestions on how to go about achieving the solutions.

Donald Trump on the other hand has never served anyone's interests but his own. Now the American public apparently believe that this self centered ego maniac would do as good a job running the nation as a man who has fought against the status quo in D.C. for years and wants to tax people when they spend not when they save. If you wonder why we keep getting idiots running things look no farther than the idiots who elect them.

Donald Trump, who has touted his poll results in recent weeks, is lagging heavily in the latest poll out of New Hampshire, the latest indication a Trump campaign may face major hurdles.

The latest poll released Thursday by WHDH-TV in New Hampshire shows Mr. Trump receiving just 8 percent of the vote. The percentage ties Mr. Trump with Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann and Rep. Ron Paul, both of whom are said to be considering a bid for president.

Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney led the poll with 35 percent of respondents saying they would support a Romney candidacy.

The poll comes as Mr. Trump continues to face problems in a number of recently released polls. The New York real estate mogul has touted earlier poll results as an indication of strength even as a number of polls show him both ahead and behind other potential Republican presidential candidates.

Mr. Paul, meanwhile, is set to launch another “money bomb” in an effort to build his coffers ahead of the 2012 campaign. The Texas Republican has formed a presidential exploratory committee, however, he remains uncommitted to entering the presidential campaign.

Mr. Trump, who did not attend the Fox News presidential debate Thursday night, has yet to declare his candidacy, instead saying he will announce his decision later this month.

The statewide survey of 400 likely Republican primary voters was conducted April 30-May 2 using live telephone interviews. It had a margin of error of 4.9 percent.
