New poll trying to bring research to the 21st century

VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) – So who is winning the election? There are plenty of polls trying to do that but one is using technology to gain an edge.

Mary Leong works with PlaceSpeak, she says some of the differences between their method and others is how they get the information.

Instead of people getting calls on a landline, they’ve opened up to the web to show the results riding by riding.

She says some of the traditional methods of polling are simply out of date.

“I don’t know if it has ever happened to you, when people look at polls and they say to you ‘I’ve never been polled’ and I think that is something that is really unique to PlaceSpeak. It’s not just closed panels.”

She says the numbers are live, so people can see the changes as they happen.

“It is in real time, so you can track changes over time if you actually look at our map.”
