I'm seeing many unfamilar organizations doing polls--and Romney is leading with larger leads than he has in most of traditional, longstanding polls (Gallup, Rasmussen, IPSOS, PPP, media outlet, etc.).

I'm sure there are polling outlets that are legitimate, with which I am unfamiliar--but it seems odd that suddenly these unknown (at least to me) polls showing wider-than-normal bounces for Romney are all over the place.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not a right-wing idiot who discounts the polls because I don't like what I see. I'm just noticing a lot of previously unknown or unheard of polls showing the largest leads for Romney.
