VIERA, Florida -- Republican candidate for Brevard County Sheriff, Wayne Ivey, won the Brevard Times viewer poll against Todd Maddox, also a Republican candidate for Sheriff, 65% to 29%,
respectively. Another Republican candidate, Gary Harrell, came in a distant third with 4% of the vote. Harrell dropped out of the race and endorsed Ivey while the poll was being conducted.
The poll also revealed that the Sheriff's race is a race of personalities, not partisanship. Although viewers were able to make more than one selection, less than 1% of viewers said that they would vote for 'Any Republican' or 'Any Democrat.'
Of the two viewer polls conducted by Brevard Times so far, the results are in line with in-person straw polls such as the one conducted by the Brevard County Conservative Coalition which had Ivey leading Maddox 60% to 40%, respectively.
Like a straw poll, the viewer poll is
unscientific and cannot be given any weight as to how voters will
actually vote come election day. However, it can indicate the level of
energy and enthusiasm political activists have for a particular
candidate this early in the race.
A new Brevard Times' viewer poll, for Brevard County Property Appraiser, begins today.

"Although viewers were able to make more than one selection," so it's clear that "Team Ivey" spent a lot of time on their computers, is that a foreshadowing of how an Ivey administration might work? Spending time on looking good but not really getting anything done. You have to budget resources as well as finances, if this is an indication of how they might allocate resources, then I am for the other guy.
ReplyDeleteI stay up late most nights. During this so-called poll, I watched votes coming in for Ivey at the rate of about 6 per minute AT 3 AND 4am! GIVE ME A BREAK! YES I AM OVER 75 BUT NOT STUPID! For a "geezer I am computer savy enough to know how to clean of the cookies and vote over and over again! Chicago ain;t got squat on the Ivey campaign!
Deletethe Ivey team is just more avid and dedicated, don't blame Ivey, its the voters, and well they just happen to like ivey more. :)
DeleteI hope the people of Brevard County do their homework and read about each candidate and ask the serious questions which should be experience and the candidates have to reveal their actual experience i dont think a correction officer for less than a month counts nor do I feel an auxilary officer counts as actual Law Enforcement experience. READ READ READ and demand that all is brought out into the open make them do another debate where the questions are not provided up front
ReplyDeleteWe are not so simple minded as some candidate hopes for. He thinks that a lot of money and TV ads will decide who we choose...THOSE DAYS ARE GONE we DEMAND MORE. Thats what we deserve....We work hard and the next person in this office will answer to us we dont care about who your money friends are THEY DONT PROTECT US!!!!! VOTE SMART SPREAD THE WORD !!!!COME ON BREVARD!!!!ITS OUR CHOICE not THEIRS!!!!
ReplyDeleteIs this "politics as usual???" How reliable is a straw poll?? At the recent Constitutional Candidate Debate and the Titusville Hob Nob event, candidate Wayne Ivey had a "free" cocktail party before the debate and supplied free tickets for the Hob Nob food and drinks. BIG GOVERNMENT BUYS VOTES!! This is more of the same old politics that has to be eliminated. Vote for the most qualified candidate, not the one who buys your vote.
ReplyDeleteLOL, funny most of that stuff came from donations. get your facts straight next time. :)
DeleteSomeone tell Iveys people to stay out of our neighborhoods coming in the middle of the night and sticking his DAMN signs up without our permission and removing the Todd Maddox signs we CHOOSE to put up on our property..REALLY GROW THE HELL UP !!!!We dont want him CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWell maybe if theMaddox people stayed sober the signs would not be a problem
DeleteHmmm.If you are an Ivey person making such assinine remarks..GOD HELP the People of Brevard Counnty if he gets elected....Yes I think I prefer Todd Maddox...
