Let's do our own Zogby or Rasmussen poll.

We could focus it on Iowa.

The selections will be:

1 The anti-war candidate Ron Paul.
2 The pro-war candidate Rudy Guiliani.
3 The pro-war candidate Fred Thompson.
4 The pro-war candidate Mitt Romney.
5 The pro-war candidate Mike Huckabee.

Something like 53% of Republicans in Iowa want our troops out of Iraq in the next six months. This would do a good job at reminding them that Ron Paul is the only one opposed to it.

That's more of a push poll...not worth it. Us paying for it would immediately put its credibility in question in the media. Not even worth it.

A push poll focuses only on a single candidate and is only used to inform people about that candidate.

This is simply ads a mini-bio to each candidate informing them on their position with the war. I would go as far as to say 'pro-war in Iraq candidate' and 'anti-war in Iraq candidate.'

Not needed. We're going to be carpet bombing Iowa with students, and robo-calls that tell people about Ron are more effective anyway.

Students aren't the kind of people that have land line phones and such an action will not have an effect on phone polls. Higher polls = more media attention.

Media does not pay attention to polls run by supporters, especially when its a biased poll like you propose. Example: Alex Jones Zogby poll.

Um, I saw the Zogby poll talked on about both CNN and Fox News repeatedly throughout the day the press release came out. They just ignored Ron Paul's leading in universal voters and focused on the Republican one.
