Here were the questions asked in the poll.

National Survey of 1,000 Likely Voters
Conducted August 23-30, 2011

Please note that we split the survey to rotate the order of the candidate names, so while half will hear the Republican candidate first, the other half hears the Democrat mentioned first.

1* What if the Republicans nominate Mitt Romney? If the 2012 Presidential Election were held today, would you vote for Republican Mitt Romney or Democrat Barack Obama?

Romney
Obama
Some other candidate
Not sure

2* What if the Republicans nominate Michele Bachmann? If the 2012 Presidential Election were held today, would you vote for Republican Michele Bachmann or Democrat Barack Obama?

Bachmann
Obama
Some other candidate
Not sure

3* What if the Republicans nominate Rick Perry? If the 2012 Presidential Election were held today, would you vote for Republican Rick Perry or Democrat Barack Obama?

Perry

Some other candidate

4* What if the Republicans nominate Herman Cain? If the 2012 Presidential Election were held today, would you vote for Republican Herman Cain or Democrat Barack Obama?

NOTE: Margin of Sampling Error, +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence

Herman Cain...really? The only mention of Ron Paul was in the article
Data released earlier shows the president leading Congressman Ron Paul by a single point and former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin by double digits.


WTF?

The article refers back to the previous poll where Ron Paul was just 1 point behind Obama, but the questioning doesn't mention Paul at all.

Last time they released 2 articles - 1 just for Ron Paul, then another with everyone else, but it came out a day later. Perhaps they have polled Ron Paul separately and are going to release those results tomorrow??
