Infantile polling trick
They split the "NO" vote into two columns and give the Yes only one choice, nice. It's a lot closer than it seems.

8. Notice how not safer gets two answers and safe only has one.
Make sure to split the no vote so it appears safe is the higher number.

11. It makes sense though....
Edited on Tue Sep-12-06 07:09 PM by Wally101
Are you safer? if yes, then you are, there's really no other qualifier you can put on it. At least on the no vote, they gave the option of not only no, but HELL no (my interpretation) :)

mark



edited to add that I also voted HELL no.

27. Why thank you newyaker99, this seems like a nice
place if you can filter out the wackos. But what place doesn't have its share?

9. Unlike other polls, this one allows you to vote more than once.
I've voted 5 times already. The numbers are about 50/50 Y/n

15. Done, but
They are splitting up the No votes. They can use this misleading poll to *'s benefit. They need to be watched and called on this when they announce the results.

20. I voted but...
It is obviously biased to show a larger percentage for yes because no is divided into two sections.

21. Done--it's pretty much 50/50
There are two "no" choice--combine them and it's neck and neck

22. Voted more unsafe - vote early and often!
It'd actually be neck and neck if the unsafe weren't divided into two questions.

If you add up both 'no's', NO is ahead.
