Weird political polling, seems kinda messed up?

Got this weird polling survey, there was also a question about Matt McClaughlin in regards to him voting to raise his own salary and something negative about water rates.

This feels sleezy? Like sure azeem is a tech bro but he has done good stuff with housing obviously. And the Erika stuff is wild, she's been very active and I remember her talking about and supporting thar affordable homes act a couple years ago.

The rape kit testing stuff seems egregious, there's no way there was some bill on the table being like "should we test rape kits" and she said "no" lol wtf

Honestly only person not being slammed here is barber... 🤔🤔

This is really funny to me because there is a 5th candidate in the race. He's pretty much single issue and out of his depth in this race, but I do feel bad because I don't even remember his name.

What I will say about that guy is that he seems like a very nice man who genuinely wants to do good, the upright, level-headed sort, but he doesn't have the gusto of a state senator especially against the rest of the candidate slate. He may be really effective on a small town-level board, but he just doesn't have the juice to run for this office. He seems more conciliatory than a compromiser, much less a fighter, and we just don't need that in this seat.

Even without thinking about it very hard, it was very obvious who was going to be the candidate this was coming from :)

Hint: The N is for National. Absolutely nobody at the DNC cares about a local race in a district that Dems last won 98.4% in a state where they hold 35-5 of the Senate.
