George W. Bush is the next president of the United States. And the new senator from New York will be Rick Lazio.
Those are the results of a straw poll conducted in July by MeritDirect, Stamford, CT, during its first Business-to-Business co-op conference.
Bush Gets 54% Of 95 direct marketers voting, 54% cast their votes for Bush. Al Gore received 42% and Pat Buchanan and Ralph Nader each drew 1%.
In addition, there was one write-in vote for Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura. The respondent’s comment was, “More wrestlers, less subterfuge.”
In the New York senate race, Republican Rick Lazio beat Hillary Rodham Clinton by a tally of 59% to 41% (including non-New Yorkers). Of the 18 New York State residents who voted, Lazio got the support of 15 – or 86%.
