Election opinion poll/voter guide for election 2010
Voting Booth
The final election poll was very interesting to see how it moved along during the past 2 weeks. Once can certainly see a difference between the 2 polls and how voter sentiment is changing over the month and a half.
Since the poll was open longer the voter count was larger this time around, so that helped in making a clearer picture of how people feel. We want to thank all of those who participated in the vote process, because for some candidates, this is the only poll they have to go by.
After each set of candidate’s, we will include links to any stories that we have done, or interviews we have had with the candidates during the last 3 months.
We hope that some of what you read and see here will help in your decision making process. There is a lot of info in this post, not including the links to our other stories. But we think if a voter takes time to read about the candidates, they will be far more ready to take on that voting booth. We hope to see everyone on next Tuesday November 2nd for election results.
