CAUTION: Newsmax requires that you provide an email address to vote then automatically adds you to their spam list.

wait... what is newsmax’s record? are they fair or are they libtards?

If they are fair about news- go to their site and give them your secondary address, we gotta encourage that type of behavior

(you all have a second email address for this type of stuff right?)

I gave them a made up address at a legit IP and got the response that I should go to my email and confirm my email address.

The may put out good content but the are very active spammers.

Finally the poll is unscientific and generally meaningless.

No self respecting organization should require an email address to vote in their poll. Nor should they automatically inundate you with spam if you do make the mistake of giving them an address.

Done

I don’t care if they spam me, their e-mails automatically go into my delete box. I had to go in there to confirm my vote but the e-mails won’t bother me since they automatically go to that box.

Barack Obama - Joe Biden
116,443(24%)

Mitt Romney - Paul Ryan

Other

Are you more likely to vote for Mitt Romney because Paul Ryan is his VP?
More Likely
118,169(25%)

Less Likely
39,188(8%)

Doesn’t change my opinion of Romney
313,567(66%)

Which party should run congress?
Republican
353,644(75%)

Democratic
115,785(24%)

0(0%)

Raise taxes
35,796(7%)

The results are biased. Do you really think that the pool of likely voters will elect Romney with 74% of the vote?

Newsmax is not a credible source. Its sample base is skewed far to the right thus invalidating the results.

Well that’s too bad. I guess it’s like a huff post poll that will give bambi 74% thus making all polls bogus.

No, all polls are not bogus, that’s why you need to be selective in the ones that you read.

Newsmax may have a slight edge on Huff Post but not much. Both present a biased look at the truth. A bogus poll on either side of the aisle is not worth the time to look at.
