On May 23, Emerson College Polling released the results of a poll for the U.S. Senate race being held in Massachusetts next June. Here are the questions, which were transmitted to respondents over the telephone, using a recording. Question 5 only gives respondents the opportunity to express support for the Republican, or the Democrat, or to say they are undecided. But there are three candidates on the ballot. The third candidate is Richard Heos of Twelve Visions Party.
Also, question 7 asks respondents how they are registered, but it does not permit them to respond that they are registered members of a party other than the Democratic or Republican Parties. Massachusetts has over 30,000 voters enrolled in parties other than the two major parties. Thanks to PoliticalWire for the news about the poll.
Typical biased polls…all of us minor party members across the country will just have to work harder in 2014 to make more noise via protests, letters, and petitions, so they can’t ignore us without losing quite a bit of credibility in the process. 2012 proved that it can be done, when such a movement caused three corporate sponsors to stop supporting the CPD.
