A Different Sort of "poll"

someone decided to do a tally of facebook accounts associated with various political parties to see perhaps if there was a different result then the apparent result from the CRA poll group that was released last week

the results were interesting to say the least

Conservative party of NB - 809 or 39.1%
People's Alliance of NB - 683 or 33.1%
New Democratic Party - 281 or 13.6%
Liberal Party of NB - 222 or 10.6%
Green Party - 68 or 3.3%

this leads to a very interesting election putting the liberals behind even the NDP and the Peoples Alliance within 6 points of the conservatives

this shows a more apparent look at the disconnect between the liberal party and the population and gives a better understanding of the actual amount of following the PANB actually has

  1. What it suggests to me is that this sort of poll isn't very accurate.

  2. that is the question isn't it

    if it is even remotely close to reality (and it does show a more believable disconnect with the liberal party) then this election could really turn out interesting
