2. Same - the pugs are saying *?

3. In all fairness...I could hit the Republican button.

But then again, who knows? :hi:

4. My prediction-

All the Republicans for A are Democrats in disguise
All the Democrats for B are Republicans in disguise.

[Arancaytar]

5. Results don't vary much between Party Affiliation...

Why is that? Of course, the Democrats are saying Bush, but why the Repubs?

My theory for this is that the voters are unproportionally pro-Kerry from the start, and that those participants that consider themselves 'Republican' are the part of the repubs that's fed up with Bush no matter what (repub does not always equal retard).

Other than for once giving us - in these days of rightwing media-controlled information - at last a poll with a positive result, it's no different from a normal Bush/Kerry poll, only reversed. The premise that the president Osama wants is the one who shouldn't be elected is as near to unanimous as makes no odds.

The only thing that makes me wonder is the party affiliation breakdown, that is - rather than a clear line between Repubs against Kerry, Democrats against Bush - so very similar for both affiliations.

Any explanation?

Edit: Of course, by the time I've posted, my question is answered many times over. I like Goldom's theory... ;) (especially giving me an explanation for 'repub does not always equal retard' ---> some of those repubs weren't repubs at all...)

Also, consider that this poll is not very restrictive against multiple votes. I'm sure there's a way to bypass it's "One vote per computer" - it can only collect Browser information, IP, and set a cookie, and all of this can be changed. So if someone were desperate to mess the poll up, they'd have little difficulty.
