Not really an independent without huge Democrat funding, but in any case, we'll see how accurate the polls are. Kind of like Forstag being a smoke jumper ... sure he did years ago before he became a lobbyist. ;). We'll see how gullible or Democrat the electorate is.
Bodnar and Alme are both getting millions in campaign funds. I don't see the difference if it came from Rs, Ds, or Is.
Maybe those donating don't want anything in return ... I doubt it. Maybe Bodnar and Alme supporters want what those donating want, so it will be ok with them.
It could be a "real" inaccurate one. That is, for the past few years Rs have dramatically over performed the poll numbers.
In any case, the only poll that matters is the election.
Sure, a small sample size. I live in an area where I can see quite a bit of landscape. A couple of years ago, we picked up more hunters/shooters. I can't say I saw all of the mule deer bucks shot, but noticed the rapid decline of bigger bucks and also medium bucks. I passed on the only 3x3...
