I wish I could remember the name of the outfit because it was a very-clean poll (no pushing, very short), but the Democrat Party of Wisconsin is doing polling in the 21st Assembly District. The questions (in order):
- How likely are you to vote in the November election (definitely, likely, not likely, won’t be)?
- Who do you support for US Senate, Democrat Russ Feingold or Republican Ron Johnson?
- How strong is your support for (the Senate candidate – very, somewhat)?
- Who do you support for governor, Democrat Tom Barrett or Republican Scott Walker?
- How strong is your support for (the gubernatorial candidate)?
- Who do you support for Assembly, Democrat Tom Michalski or Republican Mark Honadel?
- How strong is your support for (the Assembly candidate)?
- How often do you vote for a particular party (always, mostly, 50/50) – note; the pollster did start with the Republicans based on the both the previous answers I gave and the fact I was rushing him through the call.
- For statistical purposes, what is your age?
The DPW won’t be too happy with my answers, but other than putting their guy first in the order of candidates listed, it was very professionally done. The gentleman doing the poll did mention his firm twice, once at the start of the poll, and again when I asked at the end of the poll, which is when he mentioned the firm he was working for was doing it for the DPW. It will be interesting to see just how much of the poll the DPW will eventually release; if they do release it.
