Yesterday I got a call from an Alaska phone number asking if I was registered to vote in Alaska and if I was interested in doing a political survey. She did not know she was talking to Jeff Landfield. The woman said she was with Alaska Research Company. I have never heard of them and found very little information about them on Google. I assume it is some kind of front group or call center who is just being paid to make the calls and ask the questions.
Here is a summary of the questions that were asked:
- How would you rate the following public figures? (very positive, somewhat positive, somewhat negative, very negative)
- Mark Begich
- Mike Chenault
- Mike Dunleavy
- Scott Hawkins
- Lisa Murkowski
- Dan Sullivan (senator)
- Donald Trump
- Bill Walker
- Don Young
- Will you be voting in the Republican primary this year on August 21st?
- Who would you vote for if the Republican primary was held today? (Dunleavy, Hawkins, Chenault)
- Would you be more or less likely to vote for a person if they supported a state income tax?
- Would you be more or less likely to vote for a person if they supported a state sales tax?
- Would you be more or less likely to vote for a person if they supported using a portion of the permanent fund to pay for state government?
- Would you be more or less likely to vote for a person if they supported cutting the state budget?
- Would you be more or less likely to vote for a person if they opposed all new taxes until budget cuts were made?
- Would you be more or less likely to vote for a person if they supported spending more money to prevent crime?
- Would you be more or less likely to vote for a person if they supported state funding for abortion?
- Would you prefer a tax or using a portion of permanent fund earnings to fund state government?
She then asked the following demographic questions:
- What is your voter registration?
- Who do you normally vote for? (Republicans, Democrats, or a combination of both)
- How do you describe your political views? (very conservative, somewhat conservative, somewhat liberal, very liberal)
- Are you or any member of your home a member of a labor union?
- Are you married or single?
Based on the type of questions, I assume a Republican or someone representing Republicans is doing the poll. If you are the one paying for the poll, feel free to share the results with me so I can publish them!
When’s the next video drop last one was off the chain son.
By the questions, sounds almost like a Dunleavy poll…
