Now I have a few questions for statistical purposes only. First, are you currently registered to vote at your present address?
| Yes | 659 | 81.7% |
| No | 142 | 17.6% |
| Don't Know | 5 | 0.7% |
(If registered) Are you currently registered as a Republican, a Democrat, an Independent, or something else?
| Republican | 248 | 37.8% |
| Democrat | 308 | 47% |
| Independent/Other | 81 | 12.3% |

How do you think we should elect the President: should it be the candidate who gets the most votes in all 50 states or the current Electoral College system?
| Candidate with most votes | 519 | 64.3% |
| Current system | 248 | 30.8% |
| Don't Know | 40 | 5.0% |
In five of the last 12 Presidential elections, a shift of as little as 5,000 votes in one or two states would have resulted in the Electoral College electing a President who did not receive the most popular votes. Do you think it would be just or unjust to have a President who did NOT receive the most popular votes?
| Just | 194 | 24.0% |
| Unjust | 574 | 71.1% |
| Don't Know | 40 | 4.9% |
If we had a system where the candidate with the most popular votes were guaranteed to be elected President, do you think it would tend to favor the candidates of one political party over the other?
| Yes | 189 | 23.4% |
| No | 505 | 62.6% |
| Don't Know | 113 | 14.0% |
Do you think it would favor the: (rotate parties) Democratic Party OR the Republican Party?
| Democratic Party | 64 | 37.9% |
| Republican Party | 37 | 22.1% |
| Other Party | 11 | 6.3% |
| Don't Know | 57 | 33.8% |
