2. Thanks for the hard work.

What a great way to do a survey! A bunch of different polls over a bunch of different days. VERY good! It eliminates people skewing their own answers based on what they think they should be saying.

Outstanding.

And the results are VERY telling about this place.

But somehow cumulatively they add up to a coherent and meaningful whole.

Very interesting!

Most people pick their attitudes about candidates, issues, values, etc. Chinese restaurant menu stule: One from Column A, two from Column B, with five or more you get egg roll.
