The Missouri Young Republicans will hold an online and real-time straw poll on minimum wage and stem cell research this week at the state fair in Sedalia, Mo.
The poll will be conducted in conjunction with the group's annual convention and statewide officer elections.
“The stem cell and the minimum wage raise issues have been drawing, and will continue to draw, attention from the voting public,” said State Chairman Gus Wagner. “While the Young Republicans will not take a position on either topic, we are more than happy to provide one of the first venues for Missourians to voice their early opinions.”
By visiting the Missouri Young Republicans website, www.missouriyr.com, a yes or no vote can be cast on the two ballot issues. Voting will begin Monday, August 13, and run through Saturday, August 19th.
A live straw poll on the issues will also take place at the convention meeting on August 19. Results for the two polls will be announced at the conclusion of the convention meeting.

And those results will be completely meaningless. There will be no empirical validity to either poll since neither will be drawn from a representative sample. Sort of like the News-Leader, MSNBC, CNN, etc. on-line polls. All are easy to skew.
