For those following polls, here is one from St. Petersburg, Florida

This is Pinellas County and not Miami-Dade County. The population of St. Petersburg is about one quarter of a million people (250,000).

The communities (click here) of the St. Petersburg/Clearwater area cover a peninsula in the Tampa Bay area, from Tarpon Springs at the far north to Tierra Verde in the south. Much of the area’s reknown comes from our awesome, award-winning beach towns. Clearwater Beach was voted “Best Beach Town in Florida” in 2013; St. Pete was voted No. 1 in the U.S. and No. 5 in the world by TripAdvisor in 2012; and Tierra Verde’s famous Fort de Soto Park has more awards than we can even list here.

This is the downtown of St. Petersburg. If that shelf cloud decided to make an impression on the city, it would not be pretty.

Besides the tourism industry there is a few other businesses such as Raymond James with 3000 employees, several hospitals employing several thousand people and HSN (Home Shopping Network) employs about 2500 people. There is also an insurance company or two with a thousand or so people employed. No manufacturing to speak of, mostly tourism. Tourism is a year round business.

Scientific Summary of Scientific Results: (click here)

Republican presidential primary election were held today who would you chose?

Ted Cruz: - 4.2%
Rand Paul: 3.3%
Marco Rubio: 9.7%
Ben Carson: 4.5%
Jeb Bush: 20.0%
Donald Trump: 26.1%
Scott Walker: 12.2%
John Kasich: 4.1%
Unsure or Someone else: 15.9 %        

I'd like to remind folks that Donald Trump has achieved this level of approval by Republicans without raising a single ad. I have not seen the iconic "TRUMP !" logo. I don't think he has a logo, right? So, while everyone is engaging the debate machine, Donald Trump is cruising along without a care. He has a solid 32% (the Republican Base) against any Democratic candidate. He hasn't done anything about ads or campaigning in any traditional method. 

I'm just sayin'. I never took him lightly. Call me crazy.
