Southwest Nebraska straw poll results. 248 surveyed.
October 30 through November 4, 2005 results.
In another life, I operate an ISP. On that site we run a weekly poll question. Some of the questions are fun and some are somewhat serious. Each week a new question. We have asked 335 questions over the last 7 years. It gives a taste of how the people of southwest Nebraska think. The poll is not scientific as it is possible for people to vote multiple times and it does not poll those that don't have internet access or that are not interested in what we ask. I usually eliminate those that vote multiple times on poll questions that I care about. Every once in a while someone will vote 50 times because the issue is important to them. About 95% of the people that vote come from the local area and even though it is not scientific I believe it gives a fairly accurate snapshot of how the people of Chase and Perkins counties think. Any of you that want to vote on the questions are free to do so. It is easy for me to exclude non-local people if we ask something that we want only local opinions on. You can look at past questions at Poll Questions.
In this particular poll, one of the Governor candidate’s offices voted 11 times for their candidate. So I removed their votes. It is interesting that they found one of my other web sites. The results you see here are Chase 3000 customer votes only.
