hmmm, another problem–the answers don’t always reflect what you really think, but you tend to choose one anyway, so you can see the results. I don’t put much introspection into these polls, but I do tend to choose the answer that most matches my inner convictions. So I chose “very carefully, after much introspection,” even though that’s not really true. |
I actually do vote online as I think my answer really is. |
I said “I never click an answer.” this is not true–I frequently click an answer. But when faced with the dilemma described by BiV, I usually just go straight to the answer. That would have been the case here, had the choices been limited to 1 & 2. So it seemed appropriate to choose 3. In most cases, I actually engage in some mild introspection and answer accordingly. But in other cases, I answer perversely, just to make a point. For example, if the question is “Do you think illegal immigrants should be given amnesty?” I’ll answer “yes”, even though I don’t think so. (I think illegal immigrants should be fined, which–notwithstanding rhetoric to the contrary–is not amnesty). But a “no” answer implies that I want to deport them all, which puts me in intolerable company. |
I would vote for an Option #4: inconsistently. On the other hand, this website says I should vote for Mitt Romney… |
heh, apparently I should vote for either Dennis Kucinich, Bill Richardson, or Joe Biden. And if I follow the path of Bush, the best three candidates are Fred Thompson, Mitt Romney, and Rudy Giuliani. |
USA Today says that Ben There should vote for Ron Paul. Ben There agrees! |
I voted on a poll about how many showers you take a week. About 2% said less then one. Those crazy hippies are on the internet. Watch out. |
I tend to vote for the answer that I know is wrong. |
I read this post about 3 minutes after it was up. I still haven’t voted yet. |
The polls on ESPN.com are particularly fun precisely because they show the results by state. Of course fans are going to be biased towards their own teams, but the results sometimes show an astonishing amount of bias. |
Alright, I clicked the “I never click an answer, I just go straight to the results” button since I usually see how the voting is going before casting my ballot. Since I live on the west coast, that’s how I vote in national general elections, too. |
