> I get the sense its meant for propaganda purposes
Okay, so you believe it does not statistically reflect the general preference of the members of the FR community? If hardly any one on FR who supports Cruz participates, how is that propaganda?
Not really. The sample size seems to small and the participation rate too consistent for a conservative website ranked 54 out of 100.[1]
And when you consider the number of people who've publicly dropped out because the tone of the site is not to their liking, or those who simply stopped posting or those that just lurk those poll results don't adequately reflect the FR community. They are certainly not reflective of anything going on in the general public right now when you consider Trump's support across the party.
And when someone posts a poll daily I suspect its for an undisclosed purpose.
If hardly any one on FR who supports Cruz participates, how is that propaganda?
The real question is, will the poll results become the starting point for future discussions about conservatism on FR? "Nobody agrees with you here, therefore..." It would appear you're taking that line or argumentation already.
We all know at some point a determination will be made here. And anybody who says they cannot support Trump in good conscience will be gone. FR will soon have 100% compliance. The poll is a part of that. So I am not surprised that the numbers reflect that reality and people don't want to have any part of it.
