Siena College Poll - New York GOP Primary / Ron Paul at 16%

[cstarace]

Sounds like it's time to start kicking it into high gear in my home state

 

[jonhowe]

I work on Wall St. and will never vote for Romney

I just started on Wall St and a LOT of my coworkers are warming to Ron Paul (what a coincidence that started when I got there... hmm...).
Sadly, most who are are registered Dems, and it's WAY too late to change parties now. I switched at the last possible day from Libertarian to Dem, I think it was in October!

All that being said, I'm going to get every last supporter I can to the polls in April.

 

[Heman5up]

Yes, a lot of wall street guys, especially the younger ones, are definitely warming up to Ron Paul.

 

[narrowphoenix]

Home of the bailouts? Let's not get ahead of ourselves people.......

It is too late to switch parties in New York, but you can still get people who are not registered to vote to register. The deadline for new registrations is March 30.

New Hyde Park here. Ordered several bumper stickers for friends and coworkers two months ago and they never arrived. This was my second order that never arrived. It's a shame because this is free advertising for the campaign. Guess I'll order again. Third time's the charm.

I missed my chance to switch parties in NY . It's ridiculous how early they set the registration deadline, and a good way for them to limit the vote to mostly establishment republicans.

 

[AngryCanadian]

WTF why does NY love moony Gingrich ??

I live on long island and as far as I know, a few of us have some big plans for signs-specifically on the LIE and on some major parkways. We wanna work with all the local area colleges with the GOTV. By the time NY rolls around, we can def WIN. No, I am not joking-

dowling
stony brook
touro
st johns
malloy
york college
Southampton
Baruch


(any more please let me know and I will add them)

I am personally contacting the libertarian and republican college groups to see if they would be willing to help with the GOTV effort. Please let me know if anyone here wants to help out with signs/D2D stuff. It's going to get real intense in march, and I don't plan to start working FT until at least April 1st. We have over a month here in NY and we gotta work together to get AS MANY REPUBS out at possible. This primary is closed, lots of rockefeller repubs here. We WILL dominate upstate. No doubt about that. We gotta win the wall street and industrial types on the island, which we CAN. We just gotta work hard.

I go to St. John's and wear Ron Paul shirts whenever I can around campus and I am thinking about starting up a YAL Chapter here next semester. There is surprisingly a decent amount of Ron Paul supporters here. I don't think anyone knows about the primary though :\

 

[IDefendThePlatform]

I'm actually pretty encouraged by this poll considering its 1)closed, Republican only 2) a primary state 3) Ron hasn't visited (lately) or advertised 4) Our NY grassroots are all busy helping with phone from home for other states and probably haven't done too much locally yet.

We need a win here soon to break through, but this poll makes NY seem within reach with a little momentum and effort down the road.

 

[Narmical]

I live next to New York, and I think he has some support there. Most people surrounding NYC are romney wall street people though.

I live in NYC, and work on wall st. Just thought id share.

Columbia University has a Libertarian student group.

I think Fordham University in The Bronx has a YAL Chapter as well.

Don't read into a meaningless poll.

It only consists of "registered" voters which is not reliable plus you don't know the number of people surveyed which matters to the legitimacy of such poll. Best to be around 1000 give or take.

I am genuinely curious. Why does the above indicate unreliability?

The entire poll consisted of registered voters, but the Republican primary poll consisted of only registered Republicans.

Actually, since the link in the OP wasn't working for me, I dug around a little bit and found the crosstabs here: http://www.siena.edu/uploadedfiles/...ity_page/sri/sny_poll/SNY012912 Crosstabs.pdf

It says 807 registered voters and only 24% were Republican, so it should come out to somewhere around 193 Republicans. So you're right that we should take it with a grain of salt since the sample size was small and they may have overpolled the youth a bit (22%). I'm also not sure if this is a reliable method to screen for likely voters: http://www.siena.edu/pages/5213.asp
