There are definite polls
that Kathleen Sebelius has been apart of during her run for governor but also
polls taken once she was in office. For example there was a poll about her that
was online and it was a survey of questions/ interviews from U.S. adults to
show if they blame Sebelius for the healthcare.gov failures, with only a 4.3%
error in the process of results.
This
particular poll shows that Sebilus is trusted for the most part, and a front-runner.
Though 26% of people were unfavorable of Sebelius for this position 61% of
people said that even if someone else were elected it wouldn’t make a different
under President Obama’s health care law. After stepping down from office, I
think my candidate does have a little mountain to climb because things did go
wrong during her time in office. But knowing that polls show the people are
aware she had little control on making things worse or better with be a great
opportunity for her to run again for another office.

During her race
against, Jim Barnett there were plenty of polls taken. Before her election as
Governor she was in the lead in almost every category by almost all polls that
were taken.

This shows that she
is definitely a front running candidate when put in the position to run for
office. She was favored by far in this race. Before her election we can learn a
lot, that many people automatically favored her so that had something going for
her but also that she had a strong career and background in politics already.
She definitely took data from polls and applied it to her campaign message when
running for office. For example from Rasmussen reports in 2006 when Sebeilus
was running for governor she was in the lead the whole time. They posted, “Observers attribute the continuing popularity of the
Democratic chief executive to a combination of disarray among Republicans and
her ability to reach out to GOP moderates.” She was able to adapt her strategy
based on the way voters would vote and by being aware of how to do so she won
the election and became governor of Kansas.

Polling is very important for
candidates to see the way voters will vote in order to shape their own campaign
messages and tailor their campaigns towards what the people want and need.
