56-36 Romney
Sump is what you would consider a Democratic pollster. His claim to fame is having worked for Bill Clinton’s two presidential campaigns, and his Activate company does most of its business with Democratic candidates. But the poll is a scientific one with a margin of error of plus or minus 2.3 percent. The poll contacted 1,225 registered Kansas voters, and as you would expect in this state, it was heavy on Republicans. About 45 percent of the respondents were Republican, 24 percent Democrat and about 24 percent independent. About 48 percent identified themselves as political conservatives, while only 12 percent identified themselves as liberal.
Sump mainly conducted the poll as a way of giving his Lawrence polling center some work while it was getting established. He said he would like to do the poll again next year, but will have to find a group or media organization that is willing to pay for it.
