Polls | Paugus Diner Poll©

I’ve finished tallying the results for the latest (and last) Paugus Diner Poll© of this election season. I must remind you that this is by no means a scientific poll. I have no idea what the margin of error might be. All I did was ask random people in and around the Paugus Diner in Laconia, New Hampshire if they were going to vote in the upcoming election here in New Hampshire (I didn’t want to skew the results with respondents from out of state). If they answered “Yes”, I asked which Presidential candidate they were going to vote for. Once I had 100 responses I stopped. (Hey, it’s easier to calculate percentages if I use a sample of 100…)

The results:

Bush: 52%

Kerry: 46%

Nader: 1%

McCain: 1%

I did remind the one respondent that John McCain wasn’t running, but he didn’t seem to mind because he was going to write in his name on the ballot.

Again, a reminder: This is not a scientific poll. It was taken in one small area of New Hampshire along the shores of Paugus Bay on Lake Winnipesaukee over a period of two days.
