ARG Poll Iowa: Michelle Bachmann on Top of GOP

For the second straight day, Republican presidential candidate and Rep. Michele Bachmann's at the top of a new poll of likely Iowa GOP caucus goers. According to a survey from the American Research Group, 21 percent of people questioned say they are backing the congresswoman from neighboring Minnesota for the GOP presidential nomination in their state's caucuses. Bachmann was at nine percent in ARG's April poll.

In second place at 18 percent, and within the survey's sampling error, is former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who's making his second bid for the White House. Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, who's making his third run for the presidency, is in third place at 14 percent, followed at 11 percent by former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who hasn't decided whether she'll launch a presidential campaign. Every one else is in single digits.

This, along with YouGov, Zogby, Fox, and PPP, are the worst pollsters there are.

I only trust Rasmussen, NBC, ABC for national polling.

Des Moines Register for Iowa.

UNH/WMUR for New Hampshire

The worse is Zogby. They are a Brazilian outfit now.

Their polls are so out of whack with all the others.
