Polling Biden

With all the usual caveats -- this was a single polling call, reported by a single source -- a Democratic activist in Eastern Iowa I know fairly well got an interesting call last night.

He emails:

I got polled today about my views as "An Iowa Democratic Activist" on Joe Biden.... They asked:

Did I have a positive or negative view of Biden?

Does he has the expereince to be VP?

Would he make you more or less likely to vote for the "Democratic Ticket"? weird word choice.

He didn't catch the name of the pollster. Anybody else getting calls like that?

14. He does a great job of going on the attack without looking like a goon.

It would be an excellent choice IMO.

2. Really interesting - sounds like campaign internal polling...

I'd like to get a call like that.


I did get a call from some polling org. and was asked 3 questions:

~ How closely are you following the election, on a scale of 1 to 10? (I answered 10)

~ Have you decided on a candidate? (Yes, 100% for Obama)

~ Is there anything that could change your mind? (Not a chance in the world.)

5. Could it also be GOP polling? nt

6. The one who called me sounded like GOP - the op about Biden...

...sounds like the Obama campaign to me. But I really don't know much about polling.

9. Very interesting

I wonder who conducted the poll. It could be the GOP, possibly preparing for a Biden pick while deciding who their veep will be. It does sound more like an internal poll though.

11. That's an interesting view, tsegat --

the GOP culling info to help them with their VP choice. Hmmmm.

[gateley]

12. Interesting - and I agree, interesting wording -- the Dem ticket. nt

15. What I think doesn't matter....What matters is that Biden would hammer the bastards!
