Patrick Muldoon, a candidate vying to be the GOP nominee for LG in
Virginia, is making “Hail Mary” robocalls in NoVA, trying to pin HB3202
on Lt. Gov. Bolling and gather enough signatures by Dec. 1 to get on
the ballot.

With
Election Day approaching, many more voters say they have been contacted
by the campaigns – primarily through mailings and pre-recorded
telephone calls – than said so in mid-October. That is especially true
for those in the battleground states. Nationwide, six-in-ten voters say
that have received mail from the campaigns, up 14 points from the
survey conducted Oct. 16-19. In the contested battleground states, 76%
now say they have received campaign mailings, also up 14 points from
mid-October.
Campaign
mail remains the most common form of direct contact, but an increasing
number of voters also say they are receiving pre-recorded telephone
calls or “robo-calls.” Nationally, the proportion of voters saying they
have received robo-calls is up 10 points since mid-October (from 37% to
47%). In the battleground states, nearly six-in-ten (59%) now say they
have received a pre-recorded campaign call, compared with 52% in
mid-October.
voters
are more likely than Democrats or Republicans to say they hang up on
robo-calls, and are about as likely as Democrats to say these calls
make them angry.
Nationwide, slightly more McCain supporters say they have received campaign mail than Obama supporters (63% vs. 57%).
Overall,
28% of voters say they have received emails from the campaigns or
political organizations. That is slightly less than half the percentage
of voters who report receiving mail about one or more of the candidates
(60%).
