Just as Justin was wondering about how to spend his free time since we are taking the month off from polling, Under the Dome has word that a new "bi-partisan" polling firm has been started and is advertising their first poll results free to the public (later results for subscribers only).
Some of my favorite highlights of the poll:
Fav/Unfav ratings by Democratic primary voters (Question 6)
Marc Basnight – 15%/17% – 68% don’t know
Joe Hackney – 19%/27% – 56% don’t know
Yep… you read that right, Democratic Primary voters have a negative opinion of their leadership in the House and Senate, and it’s a little surprising that less people know of Basnight than Hackney
Now check out the Republicans (Question 7):
Joe Hackney – 12%/58% – 30% don’t know
Ok, so drawing from that, 70% of Republicans have an opinion of Hackney yet only 44% of Democratics do? How is that possible?
This poll is truly a godsend.
