Once again, this was not a scientific survey, so take the results as you will.
We can tell you that 100% of those who took the survey were registered to vote and voted in the last election. Seventy-two percent lived in Central Indiana; 20% in Indianapolis, 36% in the doughnut counties, and 17% in the rest of central Indiana. Fourteen percent lived in northern Indiana, and 12% lived in southern Indiana.
We are working on putting together a scientific poll later this year.
