Take the Brooklyn Record Primary Poll (Please)

With the Democratic Primaries just a week away, we thought it would be interesting to take the pulse of our readers on three high profile races going on in Brownstone Brooklyn: The battles for the 57th State Assembly seat as well as the 10th and 11th Congressional Districts will be read by many as a referendum on the Atlantic Yards project as well as other hot-button issues involving race, gentrification and affordable housing. While we certainly wouldn’t claim that the readership of Brownstoner and Brooklyn Record reflects a proportional cross-section of the the potential voters in the various races, it will be arguably more independent than any polls commissioned by the candidates themselves. The poll’s also pretty short: there are seven multiple choice questions so the whole thing shouldn’t take any more than a couple of minutes. Our polls will close at noon on Thursday, at which point we will release the results.
Brooklyn Record Primary Poll [Survey Monkey]

Government’s use of eminent domain to seize land for private development projects like AY is something that could be regulated in the future at the federal level (i.e. by Congress).
Little to no connection between Congress/federal gov’t and AY. And pretty sophmoric to be a one issue voter especially when he’ll not be voting on anything related to AY. But glad you’re voting for Chris Owens anyway.
Chris Owens is the only candidate for the 11th Congressional District to be completely opposed to the Atlantic Yards proposition as it now stands and as so he has my vote. As would Bill Batson if I were in his district, which ends at Empire Blvd.
Everyone realizes of course that although this poll is “unbiased” in the sense that it isn’t being done by a campaign it has zero statistical reliability or predictability (all it does is reflect the intentions of those brownstoner readers who bother to fill it out; there is no way to extrapolate to what will happen next week).
I plan to vote for Carl Andrews, Hakeem Jeffries, and Tracy Boyland.
Was stated that a Democratic primary. So couldn’t you figure out they are Democrats?
and BTW, I plan to vote for Chris Owens – but DO NOT take/spin it as an anti-AY vote. Merely an anti-Yassky vote.
Regarding your political survey: I wish you had indicated party affiliation for each candidate. I had to check undecided because I couldn’t remember who’s who. (I know it’s lame, I’m still a bit foggy from summer). However, once I figure out who stands where regarding the current utter destruction of Brooklyn: I will vote accordingly. In other words, any candidate who supports crazy real estate developers’ profit and ruining BRKLYN, I WILL NOT be voting for them. Maybe you could give your readers a run down on the candidates? Cheers.
