The last Citizen poll asked how will you decide who to vote for in the upcoming federal election?

A convincing 45 per cent of people who participated in the poll said liking, trusting the national party leader was what decided their vote, with a total of 292 votes.

Second place took a distant 20 percent and 128 votes saying the party's views on the economy was the determining factor for them.

The party's views on government spending took 15 per cent of the vote for a total of 100 votes. Liking, trusting the local candidate took 13 percent of the vote for a total of 82 votes and trailing with eight per cent and 52 votes was the local candidate's knowledge of local issues.

The total votes cast was 654. Remember this is not a scientific poll.

The current question is should news media outlets have shown pictures and video from the murder of a TV reporter and cameraman in Virginia this week?
