Haven't seen that in awhile!

When I first joined, it was during the 2004 debates and I remember a lot of threads like this. There were OPs that listed 20+ news sites that had polls on debate nights that DUers would click through and vote on.

I think online polls like this have sorta run their course by now, imho.

sorry

The funny thing is that Richard Charnin guy, who keeps banging about election fraud against Hillary, posted this poll on FB, was keeping track of the numbers. If he can't even see how dumb this poll is, you have to wonder about his overall analysis.

not worth the time. Let them play silly little games of pretend with an online poll. It's literally all they've got.
