Texas Congressman hopes to buoy support with Portsmouth area Republicans in his first appearance in the city since August.
Ron Paul will once again take his case for the Republican Presidential nomination directly to Portsmouth area voters this week.
The Texas Congressman is scheduled to hold a town hall meeting at the Sheraton Harborside Hotel on Wednesday at 7 p.m. where the candidate will make some remarks followed by a question and answer session with voters.
On the heels of the Manchester Union Leader's endorsement of Newt Gingrich on Sunday, Paul hopes to improve his position in the polls by holding events like this one on Wednesday.
According to a Granite State Poll published by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center on Nov. 23, Paul has the support of 12 percent of likely NH voters. He trails Gingrich, who sits at 15 percent, and frontrunner Mitt Romney, who still holds a commanding lead at 42 percent.
Former Utah Governor John Huntsman (8%), businessman Herman Cain (4%), Texas Governor Rick Perry (4%), Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (2%), and former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum (1%) round out the GOP field in the latest Granite State poll.
Meanwhile, the poll shows that former New Mexico governor Gary Johnson and former Louisiana governor Buddy Roemer are both below 1%, and businessman Fred Karger does not receive any support.
