27. These are ALL of my most recent polls, please tell us which polls you consider trolling and why:

I consider none of them trolling. All but the most recent one, which is simply a survey about smartphones, show DU to be a united, progressive place. Trolling divides this place, my polls reveal how much in common we have politically, even though we fight like cats and dogs, we ultimately, pragmatically and progressively unite on key issues.

This poll indicated that DUers have smartphones and cell phones at almost exactly the rate that a nationwide poll showed about Americans in general.

Do you have a smartphone, non-smart cell phone, or no cell phone?

267 votes, 3 passes
I have a smartphone 142 (53%)
I have a cell phone, but not a smart phone 102 (38%)
I have neither a smartphone, nor a cell phone 23 (9%)

This poll shows DUers to be almost unanimously in support of protecting Obamacare, as well as being supportive of the Democratic strategy in the Senate and Congress to not allow the debt ceiling and government shutdown threats to dictate changes to existing law. It shows our folks strongly supporting the president.
