In mounting a mayoral campaign, District hopefuls have to know what issues will rally the masses. It doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to run an expensive campaign on an issue no one knows much about, much less cares enough about to swing their vote one way or the other. Hence the pre-election polling — exploratory committees hire pollsters to find out what issues residents are most worried about, what they think of a prospective candidate, and what will most motivate their decision come election day.

Vincent Orange, a councilmember from Ward 5, has established an exploratory committee, has started raising funds to lay the groundwork for a potential mayoral candidacy, and, most recently, has started polling residents to best craft the images and messages that will form the backbone of his campaign to become the city’s chief executive. His polling, though, leaves something to be desired. Part insulting, part confusing, and wholly unhelpful in measuring public support or opposition for any given issue, Orange seems to have gone cheap on his polling.
