Week 2 Polls are in! Big Changes

by Shubham

In the Early stages of the election, the electorate has once again provided their opinions. Much has changed from the likely candidates to importance of certain issues. Read more below!

The Whitman Works's pollster, Shubham Mittal, made a another poll and administered it to the electorate in Mr. Williams first period class.

The electorate has provided some contradicting opinions.

Presence of the Candidate

The electorate said that they had heard the least about Candidate Jack at this early stage of the election but thought he had the largest social Media presence. It is possible the responses were flip-flopped but regardless seems uninformed. Candidate Bella was thought to be the second least heard of with Candidate Ben in last place.

Scandal Handling

Recently, the hard working team at the Whitman Works reported on a large scandal uncovering ties between Candidate Ben and Karl Marx. The electorate was asked their opinions about the effectiveness of Candidate Ben's team handling the situation on a scale of 1 to 5, 5 being very well and 1 being horrible. The general consensus was that candidate Ben's response was average.

Candidate's Platforms

The electorate was also asked about the candidate's platforms on a scale of 1 to 5, 5 being logical and practical and 1 being misinformed/unpractical. They thought that Candidate Jack has the most though-out platform with Candidate Jack and Bella in an almost even split for second place.

Importance of Issues

The electorate believed that the candidates need to focus more on education as the election continues with Obama Care and tax reform in second place, foreign policy in third, and education in last place. A contrast in opinion from the last poll where tax reform was thought of as the most important issue and foreign policy thought as not important by any state.

Favoured Candidate

Last election, Candidate Ben was thought as the favorite candidate with Candidate Jack in a very close second and Candidate Bella having the least support. However this week, Candidate Jack has come out with a large lead, with Candidate Ben in second place, and Candidate Bella with the same amount of support in last place.

Four States - Colorado, Maryland, Idaho, and Mississippi - abstained from participating in this poll, a total of 29 electoral votes, even after being given two extra days.
