Poll question: An Impartial Poll
I want to see what the average American voter thinks. This should in no way be considered a poll on behalf of any one candidate. If the media likes polls that, regardless of methodology, show huge gains, then let's give them something to talk about.

The name of this polling company is America Speaks Polling or ASP for short.

Please read each choice carefully and vote only once. Please feel free to quote from this poll to letters to the editor, talk shows and other media outlets.

If the election for President and Vice President of the United States were held today, who would you vote for?

1. I wish Time and CNN and Newsweek and USAToday and..
would all repeat the results of this poll ad nauseum. It'd be just as valid as some of those other polls..

5. That is my goal
To show the ridiculous polling results that are going on now. It is just incredible. I encourage any Free Republic members who are undercover here to vote for your candidate also.

2. Hate to Say This, But...
No WAY are you going to get anything resembling an impartial poll, posting it on this website!!
You really think it's even remotely possible to get an impartial poll, posting it on DemocraticUndergroud?? Unless you also have the same poll on FreeRepublic, to balance it off...and maybe a few other places, and you are crunching the numbers from various sources.

But if you are just posting here...no WAY are you going to get anything resembling impartiality...but the results here will probably make many of us here smile!!

10. I agree that a poll only of Democrats
is a poll where the results are a foregone conclusion.
Why not contact someone from Freepers and from a Nader website and another of those other candidate websites and have them post the same poll. Then check the results, assuming of course that nobody screws around with the results.

14. Believe me
there are a fair number of republicans, independents, greens, libertarians and others represented here. All they have to do is support, on the record, the candidate they will vote for.

3. Kerry leads National Poll
Early results show Democratic Presidential Candidate John Kerry leading a new poll by America Speaks Polling Company. Kerry currently leads George W. Bush, the miserable failure of a President, by 100%. No President in history has ever one an election when polls showed him down by 100%.

7. By comparing a Freeper poll and a DU poll
We find these pollsters to have a 100% margin of error

8. George W. Bush
is showing a weak comeback. The poll as of 6:20 pm show Kerry leading Bush by 86%. This shows that this poll is definately unbiased and represents the views of all Americans.

9. You know, when I look at these polls I only see two choices,
because only two names on that list have a shot in hell of winning the Presidency. Guess which one I picked. :D

15. Steve-er-uh-I mean, Mortos
Love the sentiment, but don't think electoral-vote.com is going to pick up your numbers. Well, now that I think about it, they do keep using the numbers from "strategic vision"- maybe this has a shot.

17. A surprisingly strong showing for
the Personal Freedom Party. The presidential candidate Charles Jay and his more famous Vice Presidential candidate Marilyn Chambers Taylor (Yes, that Marilyn Chambers) is polling at 7% and is drawing twice the votes of incumbent George W. Bush (4%). John Kerry is showing a commanding lead at 89%.

22. Kerry dominates Bush in National Poll
Presidential candidate John Kerry wins in a landslide according to a new poll by upstart polling company A. S. P. In a national poll taken earlier this evening, John Kerry would beat incumbent George. W. Bush by
88% points. The poll was taken over the last 45 minutes and has a margin of error of +/- 5% points. Bush ran a distant third to a relatively unknown team of third party nominees, Charles Jay and Marilyn Chambers Taylor of the Personal Responibility Party.
