Note from Audra: I don’t do politics on The Aha! Connection. I will not tell you who I’m voting for nor try to persuade you to vote one way or another. I personally wish that all of the Handel and Ossoff signs were removed until say…June 10th. Do we really need to see them until the first day of summer? I happen to have a DHS 2017 Graduate sign in my front yard. I love those…..but I digress.
Caroline Draughn, a student at DHS has asked me to publish her AP Government and Politics survey. This is what she wrote to me:
“For my final project for AP Government and Politics at Dunwoody, my class has to make a political consultant pitch for the Ossoff/Handel run-off. We have to take a public opinion poll to get a better understanding of the election. I was wondering if you could possibly put the link to my survey on The Aha! Connection so I can get results that are an accurate reflection of Dunwoody as a whole.”
I’m doing this for sweet Caroline…and her mom (whom I adore). Otherwise…politics are off limits here. I did promise to publish the results when she sends them to me.
Please take the following survey for Caroline….https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/QNS92GT
From Caroline:
I received over 500 responses on the survey and this is what i collected:
-Of the people who took the survey, 58.59% were between the ages of 35-50, followed by 37.37% of participants who were older than 50.
-The majority of participants described themselves as Caucasian, but a wide range of minorities were also represented
-44% identified as republican, 34% democrat, and 22% independent
-Democrats role in congress was viewed as typically somewhat favorable (35.71%) or strongly unfavorable (27.55%)
-Republican’s role in congress was split between somewhat favorable and strongly unfavorable at 38%
-Jon Ossoff took a lead when participants were asked who the would vote for, as 53.06% of surveyors chose him over Handel
