I know I’m going to get a bunch of flak for posting this, considering I can’t let on where I got the numbers. And, yep, I’m sure the veracity of an auto-survey will be questioned (similar to that by done Datamar in the past, but just to be clear, they didn’t do this one). And, yeah too, I know the results indicate nada about likely voters, representative samplings, etc.
Whatever. I know the survey was done, I know who did it, I know how it was conducted, and I know the results. It was not done by Horn or Thompson. That’s what I do know. I can’t speak to anything past that. If that’s not good enough for you, well, ok….there’s plenty of web out there to blog on….plus you can always post pithy comments on this page.
The survey was conducted 5/22-5/30, asking the respondents to press the corresponding numbers on their keypad. Here are the results:
1) If you are a registered Voter.
Yes – 501
No – 0
2) How would you rate Bill Horn’s job performance as County Supervisor?
Very good – 37
Good – 67
Moderate – 106
Poor – 83
Very poor – 109
No opinion – 99
3) If the election for County Supervisor was held today, for whom would you vote, Supervisor Bill Horn or businessman Bruce Thompson?
Horn – 132
Thompson – 245
Not sure – 124
4) Final question, currently members of the County Board of Supervisors have no term limits. Do you feel that they should have term limits?
Yes – 362
No – 76
Not sure – 63
It should be noted that the bulk of the IE activity going on in Horn’s favor has likely taken place just on the heels of the end of this survey. For whatever any of this is worth.

This confirms our internal polling. Last election 15% did not mark their ballot for the Supervisor’s race and there were 3 candidates. If these numbers are even close to accurate (+ or – 5%) then there is no way for Horn to catch up. Too little, too late…Thompson is in the fourth quarter with the ball running out the clock.

Before Horns questionalbe mail pieces started coming 22,000 votes were already cast which is 25% of the total votes that will be cast.

Time for Horn to take his self-voted unearned pension and get out of office. He (and the other Supervisors) have quietly stuck it to the county taxpayers by obligating us to pay BILLIONS for unjustified pension enhancements for the 17,000 employees and for the Supervisors themeslves.
