Ron Paul was polling around 18% at this point in 2012.

It's an inescapable fact that people answer opinion polls differently than they do actual election polls.  People aren't paying attention to the pollster, or want to express displeasure with their candidate, or they're intentionally giving wrong answers.  That's why it's better to just completely ignore 3-way polls.
