Voter Opinions
What’s a Poll Worth These Days?
Have you ever received a call during dinner time asking your opinion about a local, state or federal political candidate? Maybe you’ve received an email with an online survey about political candidates.
Basically, that’s how poll results are determined for a political race – and from these responses, a polling firm performs a statistical analysis to generate those all-important “top line” results in news headlines.
What if you – a registered voter – could tally your vote for a candidate, issue or ballot initiative from the comfort of your own home, on your timeline and without being interrupted by polling firms? That’s tallyED.
You see, tallyED provides you the opportunity to vote on candidates and ballot initiatives that will appear on your upcoming ballot, as well as current event issues, when you want.
At the end of the day, polling results are based on turnout models (guessing based on previous elections), who responds to the polling questions, a statistical analysis of both – and they can be expensive for smaller campaigns.
Rest assured, it’s a good snapshot in time.
Here’s where we think tallyED is different (dare we say better?): Only confirmed, registered voters who sign-up can vote AND they can only vote on candidates and issues on their ballot – which helps candidates and campaigns know where their electorate stands.
Why is this better? Some online polls let ANYONE vote, but you wouldn’t know it unless you read the fine print. On tallyED, the platform provides accurate, nonbiased, nonpartisan results – straight from voters’ fingertips – over the course of the election.
Again, polling is helpful, but it’s expensive. What if your campaign simply emailed, or posted on social media, the link for your candidate or issue and thousands of people voted on it?
Would that be helpful? Most likely.
