Standpoint vs opinion

Hi

Would you say that the following sentences are equally correct and natural, besides being synonymous?

1) What's your standpoint on the current political situation?

2) What's your opinion on the current political situation?

3) What's your point of view on the current political situation?

4) What's your viewpoint on the current political situation?

Thanks,

Tom

#1 is a bit different. Reserve 'standpoint' for a more official, standardized or set opinion/viewpoint.

Thanks, MM--I'll reserve my use of "standpoint". But is the sentence grammatically correct, I mean:

One's standpoint on something
