  1. Good morning,let me know if you want the poll results from last week. Thousands of voters with real questions.

    Have a great day.

    “…looking for trends”

    Hmm, yes — very serious stuff this.

    What a joke! Your “poll” has all of the scientific validity of a phrenology lecture.

    I’m not sure what is funnier — you talking about “trends”, or that dope from FSP quoting online poll results from the News Journal as if they were the gospel truth, when they state very clearly that the results are “not scientific.”

    Asking people to voluntarily register their opinion online is not the same thing as taking a poll.

    If you already understand this, that’s fine. Just don’t try and pretend that these results (or the results from any online poll) mean anything more than you and your D&D buddies clearly have lots and lots of spare time.

  3. jason330 says:

    touchy touchy.

    Here is what they mean to me – since you (sorta) asked.

    I think they are a measure of a campaign’s relative organizational strength. As we get closer to the election I think we’ll see the numbers spike up as campaigns continue to reach out to volunteers and supporters in order to keep them enganged.

    As for scientific validity, you need to check out one of the big national polling firms covering these races.

    Oh, that’s right they aren’t. It is just FDU and me so get over yourself or piss off.

    POLL

    Question #1: Is Sugardaddy an a-hole?

    RESULTS: 50% replied “yes”, the other 50% lied about it.

  5. Rebecca says:

    Sugar Daddy is right. Jason is right. Sorry Dis, nobody’s an a–hole. People who take the time to comment here are at least engaged. Not nearly as scary as the folks who enter a voting booth and devote less thought to which button to push than they do to which laundry detergent to purchase. They are the ones who scare me.

    “Asking people to voluntarily register their opinion online is not the same thing as taking a poll.”

    Yeah. People voluntarily offering their opinion after request is not a poll. So what’s a poll? Involuntary response at gun-point?

    As to people not devoting thought to voting, the problem is getting people to show up on election day. If they don’t care, they pretty much don’t bother to vote.

    Wait a minute. Is this ‘backwards day’ again?

  8. RickJ says:

    Dis, it’s a poll, but a poll where the results must be taken with a grain of salt.

    Let’s not pretend that you have a scientific sampling. This is a website that is openly hostile to Republicans, conservatives, and Frightland. Anyone who is a fan of those three and doesn’t feel like being insulted is likely on another site.

    The readers of the website are, from reading the comments, likely Markell voters. That Carney does as well as he does is a testament to his organization. That Protack does as well as he does is testament to his newfound IP proxy knowledge. That Levin does as poorly as he does means he is undeclared, and that if he were declared that coming here for validation would be about as productive as casting grain in a parking lot and hoping for a harvest.

    for good reason.

    I knew DSEA commented on here! Either that or Perry is off the hook again.

    I can’t believe someone other than me slapped Jason with the Frightland angle. Man, I am slipping.

  11. Here are the facts about the poll.

    10,000 GOP households, 8400 were 2006 primary voters and 1600 were GOP voters from 2002, 2004, 2006. A vaild group to poll and the most important GOP group to be on touch with at this point.

    The questions were devised this way. The issue was mentioned by Mike Protack’s voice , a proposal was offered by Mike Protack’s voice and the recipient of the call was asked if they supported Mike Protack’s ideas. Pretty simple.

    Professional firm, professional questions and very good results. We have offered every part of the poll’s details to anyone who wants them. Simply ask if you need the details.

    At any rate a bit more successful than the online petition.

    Have a great day.

  12. RickJ says:

    Lost in Mike comments are that when 10,000 people heard his voice on his second call, nearly 72% hung up immediately. That, in the business, is what we call a negative.

    ——————————————————————————–

    Anyone who wants Protack to disappear, cannot be taken seriously. Protack represents the little good left within the fractured, broken down, ghost of the republican party. So sad, how they have fallen. They once had great potential.

    Perhaps it is due to the attitudes expressed by some of the above that their reputation has nosedived and is now out of control. It is a shame. But with new leadership like Protack, perhaps reality may take hold and the Republican party may one day return to its glory days when it represented “values,” and not “here, Big Business, have some more of our taxpayers money.”

    On to wind.

  14. RickJ,

    We were told to expect a large drop after the first question and then about 10-15% for every question. No matter what the occasion or call many people simply do feel complelled to participate. People hang up on the American Cancer Society you know.

    The goal was to start with a sample of all the 2006 primary voters and never dip below the 500 level. We did that by a large margin.

    Again, if you need some knowledge on polls let me know. I have this firm’s latest work on 60,000 Homes for the Presidential GOP race and I can send it to you, it might be helpful.

    So out of 10,000 people, 578 support Protack? That’s about a 6% support level, with less than 2% willing to volunteer.

    Yup, seems about right to me…

  16. RickJ says:

    No, sam. You don’t get it. 82.34% of Americans support Mike Protack. His polling firm told him so, and I’ve been an idiot for doubting them. Yousee, they know more about Delaware and primary voters here than anyone else, and their system is flawless.

    What’s the O/U on Protack in a primary? I’ll go 22% – takers?

  17. Keep trying guys and maybe you will make some sense at some point.

    No poll reaches 100% of the contacts. Try calling 100 people on your own, if you reach 20-25 at home you are very lucky. If someone does not answer their phone it does not tell you anything about their support or answers.

    Using your logic the 170,000 homes (and who knows how many people per household) who heard about Levin’s online petition (front page) and the few dozens who responded means his support level is .045%. What do you think?

    Also, try calling any list to ask for people’s financial support whether it is Cancer, Goodwill or the Fire Company. Our level of support was right where we wanted it to be.

    The requirememnt is to make sure your sample universe is a appropriate to your poll, ours was GOP primary voters. Then you make sure
    your responses total at least 500 to be credible as a poll. We vastly exceeded that number.

    Keep trying, but facts are facts and life is pretty good.

    Have a great day.

    I’ll take Protack’s poll over the limp draft Levin petition. That appears to be going south on the millionaire club.

    The only poll that really matters is the election. Bring it on. Let’s start talking issues.

  19. sam says:

    Levin’s petition was created by an average Joe, and it wasn’t paid for, and Levin had nothing to do with it. The link to the petition wasn’t in the article, either.

    Mike “Six Percent” Protack’s poll was paid for and designed for optimum results, and he still got only 6% support.

  20. anon says:

    Levin’s petition was created by an average Joe

    You mean Dave “Average Joe” Burris?

  21. sam says:

    Actually, the original petition was formed by a man named Bob Lawless. He was quoted in the News-Journal article.

    Why Burris did a second petition is beyond me.
