Another Telephone Poll

I'm starting a new blog on this one, because it touches on issues raised in different several different blogs.Got another telephone poll about the CH election. I didn’t have anything to write with at the time, so I apologize if my memory gets anything wrong. Along those lines, the questions that I am regurgitating here are not necessarily in the same order as asked, just as best as I can remember. No candidate was identified as sponsoring the poll, but at then end it was disclosed that the poll was conducted by Tom Jensen's group http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/ . The call was completely automated. Press 1 for this, 2 for that, and so on. Sometimes a no opinion (or some similar don’t know) option was given, sometimes not. The question would be repeated if no answer was given within a certain time.Questions included: Do you plan on voting? There are four mayoral candidates, who are you planning on voting for, with each listed alphabetically. At this point, I was asked some demographic questions about age, race, gender, party affiliation, and whether I considered myself liberal/conservative. The candidates for town council were then listed alphabetically. Who are you most likely to vote for was asked. Next was who are you next most likely to vote for, with if you only plan to vote for one press ___ as an option. Since I didn’t say I was only voting for one, the question was then repeated for third and fourth choices, with an option to say only voting for so many as an option each time.Here’s where I really forget the sequence of questions. Do I have a favorable/unfavorable/no opinion of Greenbridge? Do I have a favorable/unfavorable/no opinion of 54 East? Is it more important that a candidate be pro biz or pro environment (pitted against each other) or no opinion? Am I in favor/not/no opinion about the IFC shelter move (I can’t remember if the word shelter was actually used)? Is panhandling a problem? For the panhandling question, there was a range of options spanning about 4 or 5 options from a synonym for horrendous down to none, and I can’t remember if no opinion was an option. Would I like to see more restrictive panhandling regulations? Can’t remember if no opinion was an option.Are you more/less likely/no difference to vote for a candidate endorsed by the Sierra Club? Are you more/less likely/no difference to vote for a candidate endorsed by the Indy? Are you more/less likely/no difference to vote for a gay candidate?There was some question about how much I like downtown Chapel Hill. How often do I go downtown? Is parking a problem? Would I like to see CH be more like Durham? Would I like for CH and Carrboro merge? Would I like to see a loser (or something similar, but not “fifth place finisher”) from the election appointed to the vacant TC seat? I do not remember a question about which version of the TC should do the appointing. Is it important to me to have a black member on the TC? Do I have a favorable/unfavorable/no opinion view of Kevin Foy? Do I have a favorable/unfavorable/no opinion view of Mark Kleinschmidt? Do I have a favorable/unfavorable/no opinion view of Matt Czajkowski? Do I approve/not approve/no opinion of the direction of the TC?There was a question about what I think the population of CH should be __ years from now, no option was not an option. There was some question about whether I would like to see services cut so taxes won’t go up (with no specific services being mentioned). And there was a question about whether I thought taxes were too high.That’s all I can remember.
