AOL, "Straw Poll: Hillary leading Democrat and Paul leading Republican" 12/24/07

Media Outlet:
*New Media
*National

Content:
*Straw poll results from AOL

Tone:
*Neutral

Claims:
*Hillary is the leading Democrat followed by Obama
*Paul is the leading Republican followed by Romney

Quote(s):
"In New Hampshire Paul has 30% Romney 23% McCain 20%, Giuliani 15%, Huckabee 8%, Thompson 3%, and Hunter 1%. Once again, aside from Paul the candidates mirror media polls regarding strength nationally and regionally.

Paul supporters have maintained that media generated polls have been under representing his support. Paul leads GOP candidates in 4rth quarter fund raising. He has received donations from an astounding 123,000 donors this quarter."

My thoughts:
I thought Paul would actually be second, this is a good surprise for me. Also, for the detractors, AOL has claimed that their straw hat poll is "spam" proof.
