As of today April 30, President Bush is leading John Kerry 57 percentage points to Kerry's 43 points in an on-line poll with 11,765 participants responding according to CasinoFortune.com, which bills itself as "one of the leading Internet casino sites."
Casino Fortune has vowed to donate a total of $100,000 to the winner’s campaign and political party. Voting will stop at midnight, May 15 and a winner will be declared. The poll can be on the casinofortune.com website.
While there are no Las Vegas odds on the contest because gambling on presidential elections is illegal in Nevada, as of today's posting on the London-based 52Bet.com website George W. Bush is an early favorite at 5-6 while the remaining field including Kerry is listed at 1-1.

Right but it is not a RANDOM sample, so it has basically no validity. It is nice that Bush/the GOP will get the contribution it seems.

That's probably true, on the other hand they don't say what they think about the candidates but what they think other people think about the candidates. ; )

Plus many of the respondents are probably foreigners who are making their best guess based on what they've been exposed to in the media (theirs and ours) without any knowledge of the electoral or apportionment systems.

Yes but it's not a random sample. Even if it was it wouldn't be that much more accurate than 1,000. The more people you poll the more your gains in accuracy diminish. After you have a sample of 1,000 it's really not worth polling any more, which is why most polls sample about 1,000 people.
