(LTE) Incomplete poll

From Mshiltonj wiki

Your latest presidential poll, reported Aug. 14, does not include the number of voters who plan on voting for Libertarian presidential candidate Michael Badnarik. Why?

Badnarik is polling 5 percent in battleground state New Mexico. He is polling 3 percent nationwide, 1 percent in Minnesota, 1.5 percent in Wisconsin and 1.1 percent in Iowa. Other polls in North Carolina have him polling 1 percent in the Triangle and Charlotte areas.

Most of this polling information is several weeks old, done shortly after Badnarik received the Libertarian Party nomination in June. Since then, he has been traveling across the country doing fund raising, buying television advertising and garnering more support.

As more people learn that Badnarik is the only candidate who opposes the war in Iraq and that there is little difference between the Republican and Democratic tickets, Badnarik's campaign gains momentum with every appearance.

The Libertarian Party is the only party in America that supports peace, limited government, individual freedom and fiscal responsibility. The Democrats and Republicans can offer only more of the status quo while they quibble over how much of our lives and money they control.

Please include Badnarik in future polls. Just ask the question as it will appear on the ballot this November. Judging by the other polls that do include Badnarik, your polling information is inaccurate without his inclusion.
