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.

With all of the polling, do you see this as a positive for her 2016 Election possibility? Or do you think it just makes her relevant?
ReplyDeleteDuring Sebelius' Gubernatorial races here in Kansas she was really able to reach across party lines, and I think that was heavily reflected in the polls for those races. Do you think she would be able to do the same thing if she decided to make a bid for president in 2016?
ReplyDeleteI feel like the polls are reflecting that a lot of people don't know very much about Kathleen Sebelius and probably a good chunk don't know who she is. Of course the Republican Party is quite familiar with her since her name was attached to the Affordable Care Act. I feel like for her to think about running for President, she will have some serious issues to overcome the negative stigma attached to her name.
ReplyDeleteAllie- I think with what i've researched that the polling she has been apart of she gets the popular vote in most polls. I think it's a very positive thing for her in an upcoming election.
ReplyDeleteNicole- I agree, however I think that by having the funds she did back then and the funds she has now she can win more polls. It's all about money.
ReplyDeleteSince polls are typically inaccurate and unreliable, how do you think candidates are able to interpret that faulty information and in turn better their campaign? Or do you think candidate's campaigns rely on polling results much at all?
