Interesting exercise. The numbers are of course far from scientific, but they give a gauge, and that's one that shows the Dems will have a lot of mending to do after this election/case, even if they win the case.

Your poll was did not use a representative sample of King County let alone the State. Thus, it is meaningless.

A scientifically conducted poll says that the only people that think Gregiore won the election are hard core Democrats. Except for the 6 percent who had not formed an opinion, everyone else in the State thought Rossi had won.

And as all Dems know, Gregiore will be gone in a flash in a re-vote.

JC - TJ is quite up front about the limitations of the his poll, but the one I believe you are referring to was scientifically designed to get the result you report. I think I would prefer a limited poll that is well designed, to a hack poll.

In any case, the Republicans have been rather up front recently that this whole trial is a cynical PR exercise in which they have hyped up a normal (or better then normal) amount of election errors and generally dragged our democracy through the mud for political gain. If you want to talk about improving our elections then fine, but to abuse the system is not.

JC Bob--I didn't ask anyone who won the election. I asked their preference for the outcome of the trial.

Note the much lower percentage of registered voters downtown. That's disturbing to me.

Torrid

Ben, I wouldn't say it's MUCH lower (83 vs 70), especially with these response totals. And as I noted, a fair number of the non-registereds appeared to be tourists downtown. They were invariably NOT part of the substantive sample of 28 who had followed the trial at least a little.
