Jan Drago’s not the only person doing polling. Last January, the mayor

Jan Drago’s not the only person doing polling. Last January, the mayor himself pulled $18,100 from his 2009 campaign war chest to have EMC Research conduct a poll, according to the Public Disclosure Commission database. I haven’t been able to find anything referring to the results of whatever that poll was, though Mayoral spokesperson Sandeep Kaushik told The Stranger that Nickels hasn’t been doing primary polling. So what did you have EMC ask the electorate, Nickels? A call is in to Kaushik to find out.Update:Kaushik says that despite the mayor categorizing the expense as a “poll” on his disclosure report, it was actually just a series of focus groups. What they found, Kaushik says, is that most people weren’t familiar with what the mayor had been doing for the last seven years. But philosophically–fix potholes, hire more cops, protect the environment–they’re pretty much on the same page, Kaushik says. Not exactly earth shattering in solidly Democratic Seattle. Still, sounds like his results suffer from the same problem Kaushik complained about with Drago’s yesterday. If you say things about a candidate that Seattleites agree with, they support them.
