Anyone notice the Freep poll!

Posted on 08/23/2005 8:56:31 PM PDT by GoforBroke

Funny how the current poll is moving lower a tenth of a point every half a day or so. We have all seen this happen before but I think it's funny how the come lately's think that; 1) at 90+ % it really makes a difference to move it at this rate. 2) and that the one or two that are doing it spend so long clearing their cache and cookies (reloading windows) or whatever and revoting.


TOPICS: Your Opinion/Questions

Yeah, I saw it... but the question is such a moot point, it didn't seem worth the effort to click on it.

Mostly it's the DU trolls coming in a clicking it ... most of the freepers checked in long ago.

Apparently they think they'll make a difference.  But like the 2000 & 2004 elections, they are wrong.

Good point.  Is that what you were hinting at all along?  =)

Yeah, DUmmies too lazy to get a job tend to have a lot of time on their hands.

Or 2.7% of lurkers are trolls.

I suppose it was on the sarcastic side. :)

LOL ... thought you might have a little agenda there.  Mostly it is only the trolls going there once the poll is a couple of days old, and before they are banned, because that way their results will count as "registered" users.

I posted something similar back around the election. I forget the poll question but I do recall a little heavier turnout by the trolls.

Internet polls mean even less than the
poll crap that the MSN report as
'the voice of God' .

It's garbage, all of it.

Duh.

Those lurkers still don't go away.


Isn't it about time to have new poll?
