This is will go down as the most amazing and unusual political campaign for the presidency in American history. Matt Drudge’s Super Poll, conducted over the past 18 hours, will become a permanent part of this process.
The results, of his Super Poll, as of this writing, are nothing less than astounding.
In short they show Donald Trump is still the one to beat for candidates on either side; but Bernie Sanders cannot be ignored. They prove the presidential dreams of both Republican Ted Cruz and Democrat Hillary Clinton are over.
With approximately 1.1 million votes cast, the huge loser is Democrat Hillary Clinton who despite being the favorite in all national polls has thus far seen her votes translate into .9%, a total putting her in 11th place. There is no enthusiasm whatsoever, for Clinton’s campaign.
The big loser is Republican Ted Cruz who has seen his votes translate into 19% which is good for third place but far behind the contest’s very big winner Socialist/Democrat Bernie Sanders. This blows away any argument that Cruz can win a general election. He can’t.
Sanders has thus far pulled a very very impressive number of votes that translates into 31% of the total for second place. This indicates the Republican establishment, the media and the Consultant Class are not the only ones fearful of losing their free ride. Sanders has tapped into the ever present reservoir of greed and resentment to be found in any industrial society. He must be taken seriously and defeated.
While no one could have expected the results for these three, first place in the poll is not surprisingly held by Republican businessman Donald Trump whose numbers at this writing show him getting 378K votes and holding a shockingly small lead of 2 ½% over Sanders.

See my post above yours regular person ;-)

Ahhhhh ... lol ... very enlightening! TY.
Well, I’ll still just cast my regular single vote in these things and leave the spoofing to others. It’s all just fun, anyways, but in a totally irrational way I still get a kick out of seeing my candidate in first place!
It wouldn’t be to me either.. but it wasn’t necessary.
*************************
And thanks to LesbianThesbian I now understand why!
Oh well, it wouldn’t be a normal day if I didn’t show off my ignorance at least once!
Not true. The was a period of time yesterday that the poll accepted and counted multiple votes from the same ip address, I know because I voted at least six times before being rejected. They must not have had the filter working properly, and even when the one ip address one vote filter is on, a spammer can circumvent that with simple program, so almost any on line poll can be "automagically" spammed.
Never get too excited about any on line poll.
Sanders??? I used to live in Vermont (an economic disaster outside of Burlington)...America’s college students are as dumb as a bag of hammers. ‘Obama didn’t work out; let’s try Bernie!’
“It must keep an IP address.”
I would think it would get the IP address of the router not the computer...
“This is will go down as the most amazing and unusual political campaign for the presidency in American history.”
Yet it will. It is because we are living in interesting times.
If you took the time to vote, you wouldn’t make such an ignorant comment.
I had no problem voting multiple times after clearing history each time.
(Win 10, Firefox browser)
Actually, I did vote.
So.. anything else?
And if you took the time to understand how flawed the mechanics of that “poll” are, you wouldn’t be so idealistic about its importance.
Not sure how you deduced that I found it important. Nor do I have an idealistic attachment to it.
I was simply addressing your falsehood - if you vote it in, you are NOT allowed to go back and vote again - and again - and again.
So stop acting like the numbers are padded.
Of course the numbers are padded.. and there’s nothing scientific about an online poll.
But hey... believe what you will.
What is so funny about that is any poll that might show Cruz is up, you take it for gold.
Prove to me that THIS poll was padded, I’m like to know the truth. Thanks
LMAO!! I don’t take any online poll seriously. Here’s how it’s padded: you can vote from any separate PC or iPhone/iPad device. And please... don’t play the game of trying to convince me that didn’t happen by the many thousands. You know as well as I there’s nothing scientific about an online poll.
Fair enough, guess I wouldn’t know of that way to pad an ‘on line’ poll, it would never occur to me to do that.
