2022 Issue Poll & Message Test

Ballot Measure 2E

In the run up to the 2022 election we were curious about what voters in the City of Boulder believed about a particular measure that appeared on that Fall's ballot (2E - Even Year municipal elections). Knowing that traditional polling methods were out of reach due to time and expense, yet still wanting to achieve a statistically significant polling result we pooled our creativity and skill sets, and developed a novel survey and analysis method that delivered results suggesting overwhelming support in the community. 

The results of our poll suggested 65% of the community was in support of the measure with a margin of error of +/- 3% points. We feel validated in our rigorous methods by the end result of the people of Boulder approving the measure with 63.5% voting in favor.
