7. Other ... You need to construct a poll that has mutually exclusive choices.
Or .... failing that ... you need to frame it differently ...

You might ask the people responding to vote for the one statement that best reflects their view point.

But even having said that ... your opening question fails because it PUSHES a specific agenda ... "If Obama continues in the corporate/right direction we've seen over two years" ... talk about a PUSH POLL.

Past that, of your choices, only one choice could be considered COUNTER to the obvious anti-Obama framing ... "Are you certain that Obama will be reelected in 2012 ... ?"

My sense is that, given your "push poll" approach your goal was to give folks who want to bash Obama a thread to do so. So in that respect, I think your objective will be met. After all, you provided about 8 different choices for one to do so.
