Statistical Speech Sunday Oct. 23 2011 Ithaca GA

METHODOLOGY

Mostly the same as October 20, except that there were no supplied questions. A sign directed respondents to check all boxes that apply. The sampling time was from 2:18 PM to 4:30 PM. The facilitator was one of the respondents.

RESULTS:

In original order of the questions:

US Citizen? 16 yes, 1 no
Registered to vote (US citizens): 12 yes, 3 no
Voted in 2010 (US citizens born before Nov 2 1992): 9 yes, 4 no
Voted in 2008 (US citizens born before Nov 2 1990): 10 yes, 3 no
Attended previous Occupy Ithaca events: 15 yes, 1 no
Attended OWS in New York City: 5 yes, 9 no
College student (undergraduate): 2 yes, 11 no
College grad (BS/BA level): 5 yes, 7 no
Age: 1 under 18, 5 18-24, 6 25-44, 2 45-64, 2 over 65

OBSERVATIONS

Numbers responding to questions were more even than last time. Partially this was because there was no ethnicity question and because the age question was multiple choice instead of a series of yes/no questions.

It was surprising that only one respondent had not been to an Occupy Ithaca event before. Perhaps more effort needs to be put into promotions.
