polling tip line
People see polls all the time…
Internal Republican polling shows the Carney-Markell undecideds in the 18-20% range.
Only a gullible fool (or corrupt loser) like Ron Williams would go around draging his newspaper’s credibility through the mud by trying to pass off some half-assed garbage paid for by Tom Gordon as “in-house Democratic Party” polling.
Heh, you are trying to claim that because D’Anna is a Carney supporter that he
1). is working for Carney?
2). is incapable of running a good poll?
3). ran polls for so far this year who must be (including Biden’s I guess) a nefarious bunch who are all in it for Carney?
puhlease.
Heh, you are trying to claim that because D’Anna is a Carney supporter that he
1). is working for Carney? YES
2). is incapable of running a good poll? LOOK AT THE EVIDENCE
3). ran polls for so far this year who must be (including Biden’s I guess) a nefarious bunch who are all in it for Carney? No. That He pitched the poll to Williams as a party poll.
I’m not “trying” to claim anything. I’m saying it flat out.
Here’s a possible explanation for the data (which don’t align with what either the Markell or Coons campaigns have found on their own):
One of the major pinch points for polling data is determining “likely voters.” Given that this is a Democrats-only poll for a primary, D’Anna might have set a fairly high bar for likelihood — you must have voted in previous Democratic primaries, for example.
That’s all well and good, but a big linchpin of the Markell campaign has been getting Republicans to switch parties and previously apathetic voters involved. If you’re talking about hard-core Democrats only, D’Anna’s numbers don’t seem too surprising.
