I’ll just give you the final count. We ended the poll about 7 p.m. this evening. Each respondent was allowed to pick one Democrat and one Republican, although some of the respondents could not bring themselves to pick a person from the other party.
In addition, some respondents said they were picking the candidate in the other party they hoped would be the nominee, because they thought he or she would be the weakest candidate. In any case, here’s the final count.
Democrats:
Sanders 20
Clinton 19
Webb 3
O’Malley 1
Biden (write-in) 1
Republicans:
Trump 30
Carson 5
Kasich 5
Paul 5
Walker 3
Christie 2
Bush 1
Fiorina 1
Pataki 1
Perry 1
Rubio 1
Santorum 1
Most people who passed by our booth did not participate, so the largest number would be: refused to participate. People made comments like “They’re all crooks,” or just looked the other way. I should point out that the Weissport Redneck Festival does not draw a thoughtful and erudite crowd.
I'm Sure you weren't surprised by the results.
ReplyDeleteWhat surprised me was that Kasich received 5 votes. I also thought Sanders would have done better on the Democratic side. Still, I was pleased that Huckabee and Cruz received no votes at all.
