Do they have any more recent info too?
Quick question: how do you know what the age group is for Ron Paul supporters? Do you know what it is for the other candidates? I think it would be interesting to see the comparisons.

Sure, its simplistic, as well as anecdotal with respect to my assumptions re, the age groups that are Ron Paul supporters.
But it is no more simplistic than the claim that his poll numbers are in single digits because of media bias, his name not being included in polls, misrepresentation of his positions, etc. His low poll numbers just might be attributable to the fact that many Americans just dont share his vision.
I'm not aware of any other age-related data, but the FEC (and
OpenSecrets.org)has gender data on contributors. Ron Paul has the lowest percentage contribution from women (18.8%). In fact, all of the Republican candidates have lower percentage contributions from women then most of the Democratic candidates.
From
OpenSecrets.org (only includes contributors over $200 and not counting the 4th quarter)

With the blimp and the money bomb, this will be a huge week for the Ron Paul campaign. |
Good luck with the phallic blimp!
