Brian Cole: Recent Political Polling Places Wyllie within Range of Winning Election

Recent polling conducted by Curt Schultz, a marketer and creator of the Super Brochure, puts Libertarian Gubernatorial Candidate Adrian Wyllie well within the winnable range. Schultz’s results coincide well with other polls that either limited the choices to only Republican-turned-Independent-turned-Democrat Crist, Tea Party Favorite-turned wavering moderate Incumbent Republican Rick Scott, and undecided; or provided the choices of Crist, Scott, someone other than Crist and Scott, and Undecided.

How Schultz conducted the poll

Schultz compiled this data calling 278 voters between the hours of 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. of January 27 through February 7. This group of 278 voters included 146 women and 132 men. The sample comprised of 124 Democrats, 122 Republicans, 16 Libertarians, and 16 NPA (No Party Affiliation)/other.

The actual question asked to the surveyed voters read: “If the Florida Governor’s race was held today, would you vote for Charlie Crist, Rick Scott, Adrian Wyllie, or are you undecided?”

Among the 278 voters surveyed, the largest group, 33 percent or 92 of the 278, answered “Undecided”. In second place, 28 percent or 78 of the 278 responders, considered Crist their first choice. Incumbent Rick Scott placed third, with 23 percent or 63 of the 278 surveyed callers, selecting the incumbent as their first choice, while the remainder, a respectable 16 percent or 44 of the 278 voters, want Wyllie to win.

    You don’t actually work at anything in the LP

    Untrue. I’m aware of many things all the above named individuals have done which constitute work.

    My god, between Wendt, Kane, Cassidy and LaBianca this is a pretty big group of sour grapers on Adrian Wyllie. Get off your collective asses, quit wanking, and actually do something yourselves if you all are so smart. Oh, sorry for my rudeness. You don’t actually work at anything in the LP because it makes you such a target of trolls like yourselves. By the way, the actual number of registered libertarians is one in 590 (22,000 out of 13,000,000 voters).

    Good luck with the precinct thing. We should at least start thinking in those terms, even if covering every precinct right off the bat seems highly unlikely. It’s not absolutely impossible unless you give up without trying.

    I wish I lived in Florida so I could staff a precinct for Wyllie. But I will vote for him by absentee ballot.

  5. Steve LaBianca April 12, 2014

    I wonder how Wyllie’s efforts to staff EVERY polling precinct in the state is going (FYI, his ACTUAL GOAL, which he said was achievable was to have a staffer at EVERY precinct in Florida on election day! LOL!!!)

    Yes Joe this is a true work of fiction. This poll was done by an Adrian Wyllie campaign staffer. Nothing scientific about that.

    Just a few months ago, we heard Lucas Overby saying how his internal polls had him at 39%. He wound up with 5%

    You may be talking about different numbers? Actual Registered Libertarians vs self-identified libertarian voters in a survey perhaps?

  8. Austin Cassidy April 12, 2014

    George, That would be great. The reality is that It’s more like 22 in 12,000 at the moment.

  9. George Phillies April 11, 2014

    According to this poll. 16/278ths of the registered voters are now Libertarian. That would be wonderful news!

  10. Austin Cassidy April 11, 2014

    I just took a poll of my household and have some good news to report. Looks like I’m within striking distance of being elected President in 2016. I’ll keep you guys updated as things develop…

    Politics1.com lists nine individuals who say they will run for Governor as an independent candidate. We won’t know until May how many of them actually pay the filing fee and get on the ballot, but chances are there will be at least seven candidates. The poll should have said “someone else” as an option.

  12. David April 11, 2014

    He’ll get more then 3%.

  13. Joe Wendt April 11, 2014

    HAHAHAHAHAHA, great piece of fiction
