Re: The KLR VU poll in Guelph: Dirty tricks or business development?

by rose

Perhaps some moe investigative journalism is in order here David that the Daily mockery most certainly will not waste time upon and that I myself am too lazy to bother with as i am pretty sure my numbers are in the ball park. But for the sake of journalism. Phone the city of Guelph tax registry and ask how may housholds there are in Guelph, then phone Bell Canada and ask how many residential land lines there are in Guelph. Average the two numbers. Then ask a reputable polster how many hangups or no answers an average computer driven poll would expect in the middle of summer in a University town. I'm pretty sure my ball park is right and about 300 people ansered this survey, not 3400, which would be near impossible, but you could check if the pollster won't answer the question straight up.
