Hey hotties, so as you may have guessed from the whole "Survey Says" series here on the LS Vixen Blog, I'm big big big into data. I learned about how to organize a decent survey in college and babe, there's no rush like analyzing a hot, spicy, ready to burst data set. As part of my consulting firm, VIX Public Relations, I conducted a survey of voters to check in on which candidates they were vibing and also to get some insight into what they care about. First off, for the nerds who want to dig into it, you can find the data linked here. Your welcome. Send me love in the comments if this hits you right in the Chi Square. For those who aren't total dorks, I managed to get Los Santans from all over the state with a wide age range to put their two cents in. The best best best part of this is that we managed to avoid "partisan flooding" of the survey. You'll see why I determined that in a bit. But for now, let's get to some of the interesting things we've learned! Okay, but like politics sucks. Does this study reflect how much it fucking sucks? (Yes) Basically, yeah. So one of the first questions I asked was "Who among LS Politicians past and present do you find inspiration in?" 47.9% of voters surveyed said None. Lol. Burn. The only person who came even slightly close to having any amount of the respect of these people was Republican Senator Andrew Brandenburg and I'm pretty sure it's because he's the most visible attendee of State Senate meetings. So while we may know politics is shitty, we can still identify some of the real ones who proverbially "throw their back into it." WHO ARE THE FAVES, BABE?! Fine, fine, we'll get to the super cool part. I asked voters to select their favorite candidates in the election. This means they could choose multiple if they so desired. The top two candidates in this election according to the data are Democratic Candidate for the Central District, Olivia Zhao, with 57% favorability and Republican Candidate for the Northern District, Josely Martinez, with 52% favorability. This is spicy for a number of reasons. First off, from like the nerdiest excitement I can possibly imagine- it means my data wasn't flooded by partisan douchewads. More people selected BOTH a Republican and Democratic candidate based on their sheer favorability. That's so hot. I need a moment. Okay, I'm better now. The second interesting thing is that they're both part of heavily contested races. The Democratic Northern District challenger David Wu only came in with 33% favorability against Martinez and Republican Central District challenger Garrett Baker only managed to elicit a measly 9.5%. Yikes. Of course, there's a debate today at ULSA that might tweak some numbers for either Martinez or David Wu, so we have to like... mentally factor that in? Maybe? I dunno. (Yasss. Charts.) How much did voters align with their candidates on the issues? 🎆 (lol words.) So this is where it got all heart warming. Voters mostly agreed with the candidates stances on stuff. I'm talking all of the candidates we actually got platforms from like Frank Buntz, David Wu, Sophie Wu, Olivia Zhao, and Josely Martinez... I'm not seeing major discrepancies between their platforms and voters needs and wants. That's excellent. If they actually put those needs and wants into action. Fingers crossed babes. The most notable deviation I could see was with the controversial idea of a Curfew for Unaccompanied Minors. In our first post of this Survey Says series, we found out that minors are dying at alarming rates on the streets of Los Santos and that a majority of surveyed LEO and EMS officials supported some form of a curfew for minors who are unaccompanied by an adult. The candidates seem to have uniformly been neutral on this topic but voters more often supported such a curfew than opposed it. The median age of the survey was 34ish however so it could literally just be bitter childless millennials being bitter childless millennials, however.... the range in ages was from 18 to 70 babes... that's a solid range. Who knows. It's not a Personality Contest, it's an Election.... but if it was...? 👀 I threw these questions in for fun. Just to kinda see what you'd say. Sue me, I'm a nosy reporter and blogger. I have every right to.... inquire! Let's get ready to RUMMMMBLE!!!! Which candidate would you be most likely to win against in a fist fight? 52% indicated Ted Cook Which candidates are the most authentic? 42% indicated Olivia Zhao and 38% indicated Josely Martinez Which candidates are the hardest-working? 47% indicated Olivia Zhao and 33% indicated Josely Martinez Which candidates are the wealthiest? 71% indicated Josely Martinez Which candidates are pro-Gun Rights? 52% indicated Ted Cook, 33% indicated Josely Martinez, and 28% indicated Garrett Baker Which candidates are pro-LGBT? 80% indicated Olivia Zhao, 38% indicated Sophie Wu, and 33% indicated David Wu Which candidate could you outdrink? 57% indicated Josely Martinez Woosh, this was a jouuuuurney. The only comment I will endeavor on the above is that I have seen Josie's wine cellar and I believe she might secretly be able to drink me under the table. The party line questions went exactly as I somewhat expected! ALL IN ALL What do we make out of all of this? Well what I'm taking from it is that Los Santos is a diverse place, but we all agree on some basic issues. We agree that the government should be staffed by diligent hardworking dudes and gals, the government should be well-funded and use those funds to everyone's benefit, and it kinda shows how much we're willing to put party aside even when the talking heads online are yelling at each other over this or that scandal of the week. Anyway. Just wanted to share with you this cute lil thing I did. Love you all. XOXO, DISCLAIMER >Comments are enabled!
