poll questions

this is the second poll in as many days to look at potential specter vs. toomey and specter vs. ridge races. the first is here. when is someone going to do a poll that includes sestak? and why are they only asking about cross-party races (e.g. toomey vs. specter and ridge vs. specter) and not the intra-party primary contests(e.g. sestak vs. specter and ridge vs. toomey)?

i'm curious to see how specter fairs against sestak (i'm not sure how well sestak is known outside the philly area). and i'm curious to see if ridge has a shot to beat toomey in the primary (i'm thinking no, notwithstanding ridge's better shot in the general election).

UPDATE: a republican polling firm has polled a hypothetical ridge-toomey primary race. much to my surprise. ridge crushes toomey. the toomey campaign is crying foul because the pollster used to work for specter.

but still no one seems to be doing any polls with sestak (or any dem other than specter) in the mix.
