No. Pollsters don't know who the people voted for in the last election and they don't care. Usually, they take the opinions of anyone who says they plan to vote in the 2008 primary. Also, depending on the poll, the pollster will have a more or less complete list that Scary Tiger posted or they won't give the respondant any options at all and require the respondant to remember the candidates names.

Rasmussen doesn't make it's polling methodology public, but they claim they ask the same question the same way to each person. And there have been reports that Ron Paul is under Others for Republican candidates for President in the Rasmussen poll.

The primary reason I never put much faith in polling numbers is, no one has ever asked me, nor do they have the capability to.
