OK, back to the wonderful world of Polling minutiae! Thanks to the Libertarian Lass for getting me to check “Survey USA’s” pre-election poll on last year’s Half Cent sales tax item, Prop. D. Summarized above is their Oct. 7, 2010 poll, the last one I can find. You can see the Crosstabs and Analysis at this link. Having seen polling guru John Nienstedt’s presentation, I believe there was a poll showing the race “too close to call,” but it may have been done for the sales tax supporters. Survey USA partners with Channel 10 on various local subjects of interest. If there was a later Survey USA release on Prop. D, please let me know. And Kudos to Channel 10 for taking the lead on useful Polling !
If you pro-rate the Undecideds listed above, Survey USA had Proposition D losing 62% to 38%. That is exactly what happened, as the Libertarian Lass and her cohorts drove home the No-on-D message with what President Kennedy would call “Great Vigor.”
Polling minutiae. How I love it!
