A Reporter poll conducted in week four showed current SG President Edward
Wolf leading the race for Student Government President for next
year, followed by Carlos Cornejo, Michael Deyhim, and Kari Hazzard.
However, most voters are still undecided.
A stratified random sample of 100 students near the Infinity Quad were
approached and questioned. Ten percent of respondents were Deaf or
Hard of Hearing, compared to approximately 9% of the student body.
No other demographics were controlled for.
“It’s still early in the race,” said Wolf. “I think a lot of students are waiting
for the debates, and next week, all the candidates are going to put
their message out in the form of fliers or posters.”
Cornejo said that he still has a lot to do. “The debates haven’t happened
yet. I think that a lot of people are going to see the debates and make
a decision based on that.”
“I’m very happy with the poll results,” commented Deyhim, “and proud
to say that 5% of the RIT population is against volcanoes and for puppies
and kittens.” He added, “I hope that me and all students at RIT can
work together to make this campus as great as we dream.”
Hazzard declined to comment on the results.
Reporter will conduct a weekly presidential poll throughout the campaign
season.
