Political Polling Campaign Consulting Retail Research Surveys
May 20, 2014
Marty:
I can’t thank you enough. We had four candidates running in primary races tonight and
ended up winning three of those races even though we were down in the polling in all four of
them. In one instance, our candidate had only 11% solid support with just ten days remaining –
and our candidate was trying to unseat a current office holder. As a pollster who has been
conducting surveys for nearly 30 years, I knew we needed to so something dramatic to win the
last race where we had very little support and very low hard name ID levels.
Among other strategies, we decided to use El Toro. We were able to target the exact voters
we needed with the exact message they wanted to hear. A small miracle occurred in the few
precious remaining days of this campaign. We ended up winning and unseating the current
office holder by a very narrow margin. As you know, politics is a “winner takes all” game.
Winning by less than 1% gets the same result as winning by 50%.
I am not saying that El Toro was the only reason that we won. We had to pull out everything
to do it. But with our margin of victory being so small, I’m certain that we couldn’t have done it
without you.
Please be assured that we will continue using your service as we advise our future candidates
on winning election strategies.
With kindest regards,
Machan “Mace” Pavelek,
Senior Vice President
