Bigus took a poll

And Bigus is ahead.

CV: Bigus’ campaign called 1,500 Republicans in the 20th District. His poll indicated Bigus had a slight lead over Baker, 27 to 26 percentage points. Haggerty came in third place with 17 percentage points, but neither Madeira nor grassroots candidate Carl Sutton had any measurable percentage points, Bigus said.Baker’s campaign hired Virginia-based Public Opinion Strategies to do some polling, but the results were not released to the public. “The only poll that really counts is the one that occurs on Tuesday,” Baker said.

1,500 is a huge sample, most statewide polls have around 500 repondents. I know the accuracy increases as the number of repondents do, but he waisted his money calling 1,500 instead of 300, unless i Suspect it was part of his ooutreach

It was NOT a poll. He did an unscientific voter ID. He has no fucking clue whatsoever about politics or polling. His ears would never fit in the Capitol.

The reason Madeira and Sutton didn't have measurable results is that Bigus has forgotten that they are part of the race. His people only gave the voters 3 people to pick from. And since they polled his original support base it seems as though he has actually lost 26% to Baker and 17% to Haggerty due to his nonsensical campainging. It is amazing to watch how big money politics changes people. I voted for Bigus when he ran for school board, now he will never have my support again.

How can this guy put unscientific poll numbers in a paper? Poor judgment on the paper to print this. Seems like a lot of hype.
