After one successful week of polling, here are the results of the February 24-February 29 Partisan Voting Intention Tracking Poll taken by IPS on behalf on INN:
Total number of responses: 24 (While this may feel low and unrepresentative, statistical practice holds that no more than 1/10 of a target population should be polled on a particular matter. Since the current number of nations as of 3:38 PM EST on Sunday is 262, that equates to ~26.2 and since 24<26.2, the results here ARE generalizable.)
Key: Percent preferring option (Number of responses for said option)
1. "First, if a general election were held today, for which party would you vote in a hypothetical Senate election?"
The Conservative Union (CU): 37.5% (9)
The Citizens' Party (CTZ): 25% (6)
Green Left (GL): 20.8% (5)
National Revival (NR): 12.5% (3)
None: 4.2% (1)
This would lead to an implied seat distribution of:
The Conservative Union: 4.125
The Citizens' Party: 2.75
Green Left: 2.288
National Revival: 1.375
This would lead to a Senate which had the following seat makeup (number in parentheses change from January):
The Conservative Union: 4 (+1)
The Citizens' Party: 3 (0)
Green Left: 2 (0)
National Revival: 2 (-1)
2. "If a General Election were held today, who would be your preferred candidate for Chancellor?"
Laurennia (CU): 54.2% (13)
The Evile Empire (CTZ): 29.2% (7)
Kycker/3SE (NR): 8.3% (2)
Whomever can lead a stable productive majority: 4.2% (1)
Noone: 4.2% (1)
3. "Which of these options is your preferred Coalition in the next Senate?"
CU alone: 16.7% (4)
Broad "anti-CU" (CTZ+GL+NR): 12.5% (3)
CTZ-GL: 12.5% (3)
CU-GL: 12.5% (3)
CU-NR: 8.3% (2)
CU-CTZ: 8.3% (2)
CTZ-NR: 8.3% (2)
Broad "anti-CTZ" (CU+GL+NR): 8.3% (2)
None: 4.2% (1)
Whatever has the best solutions/leadership: 4.2% (1)
IDGAF, not doing this Senate shit anymore as soon as this term is over: 4.2% (1)
ALL CU OPTIONS: 54.2% (13)*
ALL CTZ OPTIONS: 45.8% (11)*
*includes CU-CTZ option
WITHOUT CTZ-CU OPTION:
ALL CU OPTIONS W/O CTZ-CU: 41.7% (11)
ALL CTZ OPTIONS W/O CTZ-CU: 37.5% (9)
