Survey: Saldana 3 to 1 Over Faulconer

The OB Rag ran a survey of our readers over their choice of major candidates for San Diego mayor, and Lori Saldana bested Kevin Faulconer 3 to 1,

In our online poll which ran for about a week, 51% of respondents chose Saldana and 17% chose Faulconer.

This is no huge surprise as OB Rag readers have more of a liberal bent than a cross-section of San Diegans.  But it does show that Saldana definitely has a base among liberals, progressives and independents in this town.

The choice “somebody else” garnered almost 14%. There is a number of candidates that are not well-known and no well-known candidates besides Saldana have jumped into the mayoral race against Faulconer, a Republican. There is no well-known Democrat and Saldana is running as an Independent.

Over 10% of the participants don’t know who they are voting for and nearly 7 and a half per cent “won’t or can’t vote.”  94 readers took part.

As usual, our survey was not scientific. It does reflect views of our readers, however.

Here’s the survey.
