Donald Trump has opened up a marginal lead over Ted Cruz in the voting on the Free Republic Caucus thread. Yesterday's vote revealed a 51.88% to 45.31% preference for Trump.
The Free Republic Caucus (daily) has been up and running for four days now. The first day was the 20th, and we're in the midst of voting on the fourth day now. Over 300 people have participated each day.
The Free Republic Caucus has been instituted to determine what the preference of FReepers was. It is being run each day leading up to and into the Caucus and Primary season, so that we can determine how dynamics of the day are impacting people's preferences here.
Does daily news impact our preferences? Do endorsements impact our preferences? Are arguments on the forum affecting our preferences? Are candidates actions impacting our preferences?
There are five important dynamics to the Caucus daily results.
1. What are FReepers preferences
2. Is there a trend over time?
3. How many people are contributing to the consensus
4. How large is the voice on Free Republic.
5. What caliber of people are representatuve of this forum.
It would be nice if thousands were participating in this activity. Those who review what is going on here should be able to see a robust participation. The more participation, the louder our voice will be.
Results of the prior day's voting is linked at the bottom of the initial post starting each new day's Free Republic Caucus. Once you see that day's vote, you'll be able to move backward to see other day's votes.
Statistics of the vote are presented. A graph reveals what the trend has been.
Rules are applied evenly and fairly to both main groups of supporters on the forum. The thread has been regligously dedicated to being a place where folks can go and vote without distrubance and infighting.
May the best man win.
If there are any questions regarding the Free Republic caucus, please ask away.
Once again, to those who have participated by voting for your prefence and abiding by the rules, I think the forum has been very well represented by your actions. Thank you very much.
Why are the total votes going down (both for Cruz and Trump)?
Thats too bad.
It’s not unusual for folks to lose interest over time.
The totals did jump back up today. They aren’t in the highest range, but they are much better than yesterday.
I agree with your thoughts. I want a lot of folks to participate.
