  1. New Forbes poll: Awareness and Appeal both up 4 points to 15% and 35% respectively. That means the recent increases in other polls are real.

    Mark my words… if the money is spent well, awareness will be over 40% by January and his poll numbers will more or less follow suit. New Hampshire awareness will be near 80%. With such a divided field, he’ll be a serious player by Super Tuesday.
