According to CQ Politics ( CQ = Congressional Quarterly):
Investor and financial commentator Peter Schiff is doing polling in Connecticut to gauge support for a potential Republican Senate run. Schiff has signed on prominent Republican polling firm Wilton Research Strategies to survey the state, his brother and spokesman Andrew Schiff told CQ Politics.
It’s probably Wilson Research Strategies, an “opinion research firm serving Republican candidates, conservative organizations, public affairs campaigns, and major corporations.”
Here’s more on Shiff’s plans from CQ politics:
“We do think there’s certainly room for the fiscally conservative, libertarian wing of the party to attract a lot of attention in the Northeast,” Andrew said, adding that Peter is prepared to develop a policy portfolio not just on finance and monetary policy, his speciality, but also on hot-button issue like health care and energy. But economics will remain is major focus.
“We’re leaning towards a run,” he said, however, “Peter doesn’t want to spend a lot of time and money if there’s really no chance.”
I wonder if they will poll on Peter Schiff’s negatives as well.
