An automated phone call penetrated McHenry County District 2 homes Friday night.

First people were asked if they were registered voters.

Next people were asked to rate each candidate according to favorability.

There was a scale of one to four on favorability:

• One was “very favorable”
• Two was “favorable”
• Three was  “unfavorable”
• Four was “very unfavorable.”
• Five was “undecided.”

This was the candidate order:

• Donna Kurtz
• Ken Koehler
• Jim Heisler
• Tom Wilbeck
• Carolyn Schofield

Next people were to make a choice as if they were voting today. Who would be your first, second, third and fourth choice?

There were ten questions altogether.

The poll was taken out of Chicago, a 773 area code.  The full number was 773-887-9910.

If District 2 voters start getting a lot of mail from a candidate, one can assume that that candidate paid for the poll and it didn’t work out the way he or she hoped.
