Better poll question please?



link to Nationmedia article.
Q:"If elections were held now, who would you vote for?"

Shouldn't the question be about the ISSUE MOST IMPORTANT to kenyans in the runup to 2007 elections instead of WHO should be president?

The stats by Steadman group (Havent researched abt the company yet...)

I agree with you, Afromusing. It is annoying that the question was about personalities rather than issues.

What are their policies on the important issues i.e.health, education, the economy, etc.

unfortunately our people tend not to look at the issues politicians represent but the pesonality and who they think would be popular. Crowd mentallity. We rarely hear healthcare, education, security, economy, foreign policy..whaddup wid dat??

I agree with you kabisa. The only problem is that even when they talk issues, they just lie, don't they. Remember that constitution we were going to get chap chap? Remember the end-corruption-at-all-costs? Remember the...ah, this is just depressing.

Shiroh,

Why you may never have been interviewed .... Maybe someone thinks you will not vote, you will talk, you will post comments on blogs, but on election day, you may not stand in the sun for 3-4 hours to vote :)

Same logic with the US etc .. they say that most middle aged, middle class, happy pple - just discuss politics, we go to rallies to pick up like minded women :) or men .... but come election day - we are too 'busy'

Imagine what could have happened in the US if all the 'college' age students they kept featuring on TV as swing voters came out to vote

you can count me in the 7%. not for anyone. Anyone of the above charcters that does not know the meaning of a "fade" is too old to be president.
