From August 14-15, I conducted a poll in the Grand Hall that garnered 27 responses. This is the final poll before the text debate tomorrow on Discord between all four Presidential candidates. Let's see how things stand going into the bout.
Platforms
The Favorable Numbers (Last Poll -> This Poll)
JayDee/Pichtonia: 42.3% -> 44.4%
Gem/Sanjurika: 77% -> 55.5%
Kazaman/Comfed: 54% -> 66.6%
McEntire/UPC: N/A -> 25.9%
Looking over the data, and including the last poll from a few days ago, we see that Kazaman's ticket has gained favorable, Gem's has grown less favored, and McEntire's ticket makes a pretty lackluster debut. Shoutout to the one commenter who asked for TL;DR on nearly every platform, you are heard.
Field Satisfaction
Not going to include the poll for this one, it was a clean 100%. Every respondent is now satisfied with the field, up from 88.5% in the last poll. Four tickets will tend to have that effect on voters!
The Horserace
Comparison to last poll (No Unsure)
JayDee/Pichtonia: 19.2% -> 25.9%
Gem/Sanjurika: 30.8% -> 14.8%
Kazaman/Comfed: 50% -> 48.1%
McEntire/UPC: N/A -> 11.1%
Something else to consider is that in the last poll, 30.8% of respondents were "unsure", and now it is only 14.8%. Another thing to note would be that Gem's ticket lost a supporter when the "unsure" was removed, for some reason. We see that Kazaman remains the frontrunner, hovering around 50% of the vote, but there are still enough voters unsure that it's not a done deal. We also see that the introduction of McEntire's ticket seems to have taken its support almost exclusively from Gem's ticket, which puts both of them struggling at the bottom of the field, while JayDee's ticket now moves into second place, which will become very important should this election go into a runoff. We'll be sure to poll those potential runoff match-ups in our post-debate poll.
Comments on the Race, from Respondents
That's all the data we've got going into the debate, hosted tomorrow on Discord, at 6pm est. I'm still accepting any questions from any interested party, these things don't write themselves, you know! Until next time, this is Calvin Coolidge, managing expectations.
Platforms
- TL;DR still would've been nice.
- A bit light on concrete details but I like the enthusiasm, he'll make it one day
- It's a good platform but they spent more time on pretty graphics then trying to TL;DR some stuff.
- I feel like Gem wanted to be ambitious but wasn't sure where the places to push the envelope were
- Could have benefited from editing.
- It seems a little less ambitious than Kaz usually goes for, but that may be a good thing? Clear and clean presentation anyway
- TL:dR pl0x
- When I think of a McEntire run I think bold ideas, but this platform was completely status quo and flat

Comments on the Race, from Respondents
- the candidates' FA platforms are the most important factor to me by far
- i dont rly understand why mcentire is running. it just feels like hes flailing after what happened last term. i wouldnt go as far as to say that jaydee is spineless as a previous comment did i do agree a that he is wishy washy and seems to bend for political winds. gem is a nice guy but im not sure ive seen enough out of them to give them my vote for president. kaz is competent and we know what to expect from him but i dont see him as the typa person who will light a spark or innovate.
- Super competitive, great to see
- Overlooked in the selfrighteous hubbub about snarky comments there was a comment about a candidate being investigated by the attorney general? Is that true?Maybe I am misremembering but that seems pretty significant that people glossed over
