55% of all votes cast in the presidential election were No 1 for Catherine Connolly.....that is 11 in 20 of all votes cast.

Pretty clear voter sentiment, imho.

Sometimes people organise 'leaflet drops' so I can't tell from here when people 'ran' that they were 'pretending to cavass'.

Yeah, individual party memberships/activists have declined, others have grown, not sure of an overall combined figure.

Still think the no. of people opening doors is ⬇️

Yeah the CC canvassers generally stopped at 7.30pm, so there's less time to canvass......

Yeah, there's many factors, but you'd be doing well to get 50% answering at the best of times (6pm - 8pm), it fall to about 30% in the afternoon & 15% b4 noon, from my experience etc.....

Friends & family tend to text/phone b4 calling in etc.

Also 'gated communities' have increased in certain areas etc.

My own limited 'data' from 2004 local elections showed that 40% were 'not in' on first call. So had to be knocked up again (once or twice) to catch them in.

Imho, the phenomenon of the mobile phone since then has seen the answering of 'cold knocks' decline.

Don't forget, that the percentage of people who open their doors to a 'cold' knock/doorbell ring is only about 50%.

Which meant that in some areas where the Connolly for President canvassers canvassed almost 100% of a constituency less than 50% of doors were open to them.

Indeed..... or maybe even contradicted by Gardai evidence from helicopter footage on the day......etc

No need to apologise, imho.

Was it Tommy Cooper or Eric Morecambe who said "I've a lot in common George Best, five fingers on each hand."? 🤣
