The Franklin Times -
The Wallup polling service released their first national poll yesterday. The WPS poll showcased growing concern over the economy and frustration in the lack of political options. Many voters, who were questioned in the poll (sample size 2200) voiced little confidence in the overall health of the economy. When asked to rate their top election concern, 44% stated the economy. 23% stated that their top concern was the War in Iraq and the War on Terror. 11% identified raising healthcare costs as their number one concern.
Voters also complained about the silence from the parties over these issues. 85% of voters agreed that the parties need to do more to showcase their views. 60% of voters claimed to have read or heard nothing from any political party. Of those who had, the vast majority had acquired information about the FDRP. The FDRP is the only party so far to launch an information campaign. Further poll details are below.
If the election was held today, who would you vote for?
FMP 1%; FHSRP 1%; LFP 3%; LLP 3%; ALP 1%; JRP 1%; FDRP 10%; Unsure 80%

As soon as other parties poll above 5% nationally additional funds will be released."

Prime Minister Sexton would like to congradulate the six parties in the running election and remind them of his coalition members. They are currently looking for a party to endorse and the party that can woo the most members will most likely have a good chance in the election and recieve his blessing.
