Issue Polls

Some of pollster Feick's questions were biased in their wording. Granted, this is not unexpected, given his public support and membership of the Toga party.

One of his questions read, "How do you feel about illegal immigration?" with options highly approve, approve, disapprove, and strongly disapprove. Another with the same options read, "Would you like to pay 32% more for your college tuition?"

From pollster Southard's results, we get a clearer view of what the electorate things about hot button topics.

63% disagree with inscreasing troops in Afghanistan, 21% agree, and 16% are not sure.

68% agree that homosexuals should be allowed to get married and have the same benefits as traditional heterosexual couples, 16% disagree, and 16% are not sure.

The closest issue from Southard's poll asked, "Do you think Eminent Domain is fair if just compensation is given?" 37% are not sure, 32% disagree, and 31% agree.

Perhaps Feick's biased poll illustrates most clearly the political climate of our state: We just can't take politics seriously. With platforms that favor global warming and ninja hamsters why should we even care to think about the issues in a fair, nonpartisan way?
