Politicons Polling: Only Romney leads Obama

[Yelnoc]

Hello, I’m from Politicons Polling, and I would like to assure you all, it is a legitimate poll. We polled just like any other major polling organization. A telephone survey, using the random digit dialing method. Even though we own a Conservative website, we do not have any bias in our polls. We want the most accurate results. Thank you for posting and please feel free to ask me any questions.

Are you a Politicons Polling employee posting as a direct representative of the company or on your own, personal basis?

Okay, then how large is the GOP primary sample?

And why did you make your own primary polling inaccurate by including Christie?

Why do you believe this is inaccurate? We polled Republicans on speculated candidates at this time.

Christie has released several Shermanesque statements denying any interest in a candidacy.

Christie has already denied interest in running in 2012...

He was only a benchmark, as we originally stated on our website.

Will your company run matchups between Judd Gregg and Obama, Tim Pawlenty and Obama, and Jeb Bush and Obama?

Why Gregg?  Why Bush for that matter?  Pawlenty is reasonable though.

We do have plans for Pawlenty in our next national poll in March. However, Bush and Gregg are not currently planned. And most likely will not be.

That's what I thought.  How about Daniels?

Heres our full list of candidates we will be polling against Obama.\

Sarah Palin
Mitt Romney
Mike Huckabee
Newt Gingrich
Michele Bachmann
Mitch Daniels
Tim Pawlenty

And we were thinking about doing Donald Trump, just to see where he stands. Thoughts?

Solid list with the exception of Bachmann, who is as insignificant as Arpaio, Angle, and Karger.  Though, if each poll is going to have a "joke" candidate like Trump, I can see why you might include her every now and than.  On the one hand, it would be interesting to see what people do when forced to pick between Obama and Trump but on the other hand you might not want to waste a slot you could put a serious candidate in.  You might consider adding John Thune, John Huntsman, and Barbour.
