WRGW News Poll: EVP Race - Dobson, Maxim the Frontrunners

A WRGW News Poll of 369 undergraduate GW students conducted February 21-24, shows that EVP candidates Logan Dobson and Rob Maxim are neck and neck.

Taking into account only likely voters, Dobson leads the field with 21.9%, followed by Maxim with 20.6%.  John Binetti comes in third place with 11.7%, and Josh Goldstein gets 10.7% of the survey respondents.  35.1% of the likely voters were still undecided.  

Maxim leads among female students, while Dobson leads among male students. Binetti does better among females, while Goldstein does better among males.  

It's important to note this poll isn't scientific; it's just a general survey of GW undergraduate students and their potential SA candidate preferences.  An important bloc of voters, graduate students, are not included in the poll.  Graduate students tend to vote based on the endorsements that their relevant organizations make (like the Student Bar Association or the Graduate School for Political Management Student Association), so the candidates with those endorsements could expect a bump.  

Results for the SA presidential news poll will be released tomorrow.

Here are the results of the EVP poll:

Logan Dobson  21.9%
Rob Maxim  20.6%
Jon Binetti  11.7%
Josh Goldstein  10.7%
Undecided  35.1%

Voter Likelihood 
Very Likely  26%
Likely  32%
Unlikely  29%
Will Not Vote  13%

Male  46.6%
Female  53.4% 

Non-Greek  71.8%
Greek  28.2%

Based on 369 Respondents.  For candidate preferences, only likely and very likely voters were used in the calculations.
