A great graphic put together by the New York Times.

Looking at the chart, Paul is apparently following the advice of Tom Roeser, who advised him to stick to radio:
Running the campaign on volunteers saves money for paid communications. By which I mean radio. A decade ago a guest at my political science class at De Paul University was Michael Deaver ( who died recently). Everyone believes Ronald Reagan was the most popular governor California ever had. Not so. He won his second term by only 52% in 1970. But he still wanted to run for president.
He turned to Deaver, who understood the governor was a conservative ideologue ( as Deaver decidedly was not). Radio, he reasoned, was for the philosophically committed, the people Reagan had to appeal to. So he put Reagan on the radio across the country — radio exclusively.
Each radio message of only a few minutes in length had him deliver small bits of conservative philosophy in bite-sized morsels. At the end he would say, “ This is Ronald Reagan. Thanks for listening.”
While Reagan was known nationally from his films, his ideas — aside from California — were not. Radio got ex-radio announcer Reagan across to the country.
Romney, on the other hand, has ran 17,000+ TV commercials to put him at a whopping 15% in the national polls.
