Sorry, we do a new poll about every two weeks or so, so we may not be able to get all the polls in, we’d like to. Sometimes I run the same or similar poll more than once over time so we can see if opinions are changing. Our polling software is a quick and dirty and doesn’t have room for all candidates names on one poll and I sometimes have to leave off those who are drawing in the low single digit territory.

Here are a few of our past presidential polls:

Etc,

Here’s the entire list of FR polls todate:

Thanks for the update Jim.

I understand the sitution of trying to please everyone and the limitations on how many "polls" you can do, I just hope in the future you'd try to do more scenarios, include Tommy Thompson...especially after including non-candidates that aren't terribly popular like Newt Gingrinch.

Our guy is doing better than alot of the included candidates like Ron Paul.

Jim,

Since you mentioned the polls, I’ve been meaning to ask a question on those:

Would you consider adding a discussion thread with each poll, that was linked from the poll?

With many of the polls, I’ve often wished that I could get a gauge of reasons why most people voted the way they did. Not so much on the presidential ones, but during normal times. Each one having it’s own thread would be a good way to do that.
