Full Of Numbers And Percentages, Signifying Nothing

By Kleinheider Posted on July 19, 2008 at 3:47 pm

Ed Cromer reports on a poll taken in the 14th State Senate District:

A poll taken June 22-23 for Republican candidate Ken Yager shows him leading Democrat Becky Ruppe in the District 12 senatorial race 35% to 21%. But 48% of voters are undecided. Yager, who was Roane County executive for 24 years, enjoys a name-recognition advantage over Morgan County Executive Ruppe, but most voters don’t know either of them.

The poll found 48% of likely voters favoring John McCain for president, versus 33% for Barack Obama.

The sample size was 300 voters, stratified by county to reflect historical voter turnout. The margin of error is 5.6%. The survey was taken by pollster Wes Anderson.
