I'm in. I'd like to see Missouri done, but that's just because I live here. If we go Missouri, I'd suggest doing a Governor question. Our current one (D) is term-limited, and the party primaries just ended. We could get the first poll out on it. Koster(D) is our current AG, and Greitens(R) likes to shoot miniguns in commercials. There's also a few ballot measures: https://ballotpedia.org/Missouri_2016_ballot_measures Interesting ones are: CA 2 is a campaign finance limit amendment, CA4 is a prohibition on new sales/use taxes on currently untaxed items, and CA6 is a voter ID amendment.

Louisiana could be an interesting option, too. David Diaper Vitter is retiring from his Senate seat. Also David Duke is running.

I don't think 2-way and 4-way are worth including separately. Jill Stein has no meaningful base of support, especially in a deep red state, and Johnson votes are probably the same as Undecided in a 2-way. The only real reason to do that is for interesting crosstabs (e.g. black voters preferring Stein to Trump), but we've already seen those results from other polls, so the novelty is mostly gone. We obviously need a presidential question of some kind (I think 2-way is more meaningful, but either is fine), and I love the idea of a confederate flag question if we polled MS. Other potentially interesting questions: -Regardless of which candidate you personally support, who do you believe is most likely to win the presidential election (I imagine this will mostly correlate with who you plan to vote for, but it would be fascinating to see if there are differences) -Would you be more or less likely to vote Republican in this election if Ted Cruz were the nominee (an answer of no demoralizes Cruz, while an answer of yes demoralizes Trump and exacerbates party tensions) -Would you be more or less likely to vote for [Person running for congress / state office] if s/he endorsed Donald Trump? (either answer jeopardizes the tightrope most Republicans are walking) -Do you believe the economy is generally in better or worse shape than when Barack Obama took office? (interesting to find what % of people flatly deny reality, and it has a slight push poll / comedy aspect to it without being scummy) -Would you support a constitutional amendment aimed at overturning Citizens United? (legitimately interested in how this would fare in a deep red state) MO and MS both seem like good options. Missouri would be a good choice since it has more EVs and we could ask about the governor race, but Mississippi is deeper red and less likely to be polled, so the results we get could have more impact. Idaho and Montana would be mildly interesting since they'll definitely never be polled, but they're also so small that nobody's going to care. Personally, I vote MS. I also love The Rokstar's suggestions, and agree that someone (Reid?) should take ultimate responsibility in compiling the poll rather than leaving it up to the hivemind.

In Mississippi we could ask about the Religious Liberty Accommodations Act/HB 1523. No one has done any opinion polling on that as far as I could find out. Not sure if there's anything else interesting going on at the state level there this year. A question about that or Citizens United might benefit from another question along the lines of "How familiar are you with [thing]?"

Whether or not we do both Clinton/Trump and Multiple candidates, or just multiple candidates, I move that we do not include Jill Stein at all. If we want to do a 4 way let us replace Jill Stein with Harambe. The reasons are that Jill Stein sucks and isn't going to get any votes anyway, so why not annoy her while leaving respondents the hallowed comedy option. If we want no comedy option, then instead include the #NeverTrump guy who suddenly decided to jump into the race instead of Jill Stein, he'll have more impact on the race anyway.

Does PPP do polling in Puerto Rico? I would be interested in polling about statehood as well as Zika. Otherwise, I would recommend that the OP just run a quick Google poll about which state to pick. Otherwise the debate over which state to will continue indefinitely. This is a cool project but I worry that it will end like every other goon project.
|
# ? Aug 12, 2016 17:27 |
Polling Puerto Rico is genius because nobody else cares but everyone should. I think the best PPP questions are like "boming agrabah" or the recent Triumph bit: propose facially absurd things, claim Trump said them, see if his supporters endorse. I'd go with "Obama pardons a turkey every Thanksgiving. Does this show weakness? Should President Trump continue this tradition?"

Polling Montana would be neat, but there's only around a million people in the whole state, so a representative sample would be basically my parents and three of their neighbors. If we do poll them we should definitely compare both Hillary and Trump to Johnson, though - I can't think of a better way to look at who's voting against Hillary and/or Trump. (I suggested that for any state we polled, but with 538 calling them "anti-establishment" it seems especially appropriate there. Who's more anti-establishment, the guy who's never held elected office or the guy who's running as a libertarian?)

A Utah 4-way might be interesting--Clinton vs Trump vs Johnson vs McMuffin Though that would necessitate it being done down the road a week or three to let McMuffin's campaign start or die. Clinton probably has no chance here, but the Mormon Split could actually manifest enough to give her the surprise edge.

Utah will probably get polled already though. We're shooting for a state that might otherwise be ignored. I still feel like Mississippi is the best bet. Going to be a bit busy over the weekend with moving, but I'll try to get the fundraiser page up by Monday.

What about something like "In a four way race, if your vote was the only one that counted, which candidate would you choose?" Edit: What do you think Donald Trump's net worth is?

Is "would you be more or less likely to vote for Trump if his net worth was less than 300 million" considered push polling? My instinct is yes, but we don't have any drat clue how rich the guy is since he hasn't released his taxes so I feel like it's almost a good question for when(if) he does release them.

This is the best way to phrase it, even if it is a little push-poll-y because it can imply anything from "has 999 million dollars" to "only has a million dollars" depending on the mind of the person being polled.
