Seriously, that's it.

Anyone can vote in it!

ANYONE.

Go vote. Send it to your e-mail list. Ask Seamus O'Gallagher in Dublin to vote. Ask Dicky Petersen in Denmark, also.

Ask the Crock Hunter down in Australia and the lone group of scientists in Antarctica.

DO IT...since anyone can vote. :eyes:

What a fucking joke!

1. Is this the thing...

he's claiming has significantly more Democrats voting in it yet it's 44-42? Definitely got freeped and a bunch of them claimed to be Dems.

3. No, that's a Gallop Poll, likely voters, traditional voting patterns.

In that poll, if new voters turn out, Obama has a 6 point lead.

[TTUBatfan2008]

5. No, it's not...

Go look at his homepage. It's an AP/Yahoo poll. Supposedly 873 Dems and 650 Repukes. Total crock of shit.

[godai]

6. Yes, it is...from the homepage:

GALLUP POLL LIKELY VOTERS STAY 49 OBAMA, 47 MCCAIN FOR SECOND DAY...

[TTUBatfan2008]

9. NO, it's not...

Here's what I'm referring to:

"AP/YAHOO Poll of 873 Democrats; 650 Republicans shows OBAMA 44%, MCCAIN 42%..."

It's the link BELOW the one you are talking about.

[godai]

10. There are 2 polls! n/t

[TTUBatfan2008]

11. Yeah, and the one in the OP is NOT a Gallup poll...

Please, get a clue. Clearly says AP in the link provided by the OP. And the link goes to Yahoo's site. Gallup has NOTHING to do with this.

13. Sorry, I thought your post was looking for more information.

My mistake, apparently.

[TTUBatfan2008]

14. No problem...

I was just trying to verify that it was the same headline I was reading on there. I went and took the poll and at the end of it, it claims that it ended on October 13 and was taken over the phone. But there's no way in hell they could interview that many Dems and come out with a 2% lead for Obama. Total load of shit. They had to have had a bunch of Republicans claiming to be Dems.

7. Well, it says "self-described as Democrats or leaning Democratic"

"The poll was conducted from 0ct. 3-13, 2008 and involved telephone interviews with 1,769 adults, of which 1,528 are registered voters. 873 respondents are self-described as Democrats or leaning Democratic and 650 are Republican or leaning Republican. The poll margin or error is plus or minus 2.3% for all adults, 3.3% for Democrats and 3.8% for Republicans."

I think the only significant result is what is mentioned on top of each page: "Regard for Republican John McCain has deteriorated across-the-board in the past month" ...

2. Rightwingnuts cited online polls during the 2000 recount debacle, too n/t

[Barack_America]

4. At the end it says it was a telephone interview.

I think they're just allowing us to play along. But the poll appears to be complete.

8. I think that's it

12. What I can tell after reading the results of each category.

"Yes Senator Obama ranks the highest in all positive aspects but i'm a douche bag and would still vote for McCrypt."

15. Sadly, it doesnt store votes you give -- it is merely informing results and showing how u compare

it definitely doesnt send back your results to a database for storage...so i have concluded it is just reporting back #s from an earlier poll but in this case you just get to see how you stack up to the nation.
