Description | Following the resignation of Mayor Dick Murphy, a poll taken Monday night revealed that 42 percent of San Diego voters are undecided on who should be the next mayor and 32 percent are for Councilwoman Donna Frye.
The poll, conducted by San Diego-based GIS Strategy Research, consisted of 439 randomly selected registered voters, who were interviewed by phone. The goal of the random sample was to get a quick poll out to the field on a hot topic, according to Richard Babcock, president of GIS Strategy Research.
Since there are more than 1 million people in San Diego, the margin of error for the poll is +/- 5 percent. GIS polls usually have around 13 questions, but since the poll dealt with a hot topic, no follow-up questions were asked, Babcock said.
Others receiving votes in the poll include: Ron Roberts, 14 percent; Peter Davis, 3 percent; Brian Maienschein, 3 percent; Scott Peters, 2 percent; Bob Filner, 1 percent and three others who received less than 1 percent.
Donna Frye is way up (in percentage) because her name has been out there and she got more than that (percentage) in the regular election, Babcock said, who mentioned he would likely be undecided. You figure therell be a lot of undecided because the council hasnt even announced an election date. So Im not surprised by the numbers. |
