Interesting! I'm curious to see a daily snapshot of the results here. As of 9:45am Pacific time on Saturday 8/30, the results are:

Obama/Biden 50% 30

McCain/Palin 45% 27

Neither 5% 3

Total Votes: 60

I accidentally voted for Obama when I meant to vote for McCain.
Oops.

 

[Dancing Fire]

i just voted. my guess.....Obama/Biden will win by 3% on PS.

It''d be nice if this could be posted on another forum, say "Hangout," so we can get a more diverse voting group who normally do not read the "Around the World" stuff.

Why couldn't it be? Polling Pricescope is not likely to give us a sense of how the country will vote, however. First, we know we are here because we are interested in diamonds and second, we know that we are heavily concentrated on the two coasts. (Remember that map where we could all put our locations?)

Um. I don''t know where to put this, because it''s very random, but BF found this and I watched the intro...and I found it kind of amusing. And disturbing...

Kung-Fu Election

Lets just say it''s a spoof on the election with some hardcore Mortal Kombat twists. I just watched the intro, and thought it was interesting.

Richardson...is a sumo wrestler. Enough said.

LOL, That is funny!

Agree-- most of the votes coming from the largest states..popular vote totally irrelevant. The fact thats its this close on this site leads me to believe McCain is going to make this very close. Plus the demographic on PS isnt as diverse as the US with many women voting

While I''m sure Pricescope members skew towards being well-educated with higher than average income, I''ve also seen enough geographic and political diversity here that I think this will be somewhat representative of popular opinion nationwide. Which, of course, won''t necessarily direct or predict the outcome of the actual election, as we''ve all seen before. I don''t think that was Dancing Fire''s objective in posting it, just curiosity as to the rough breakdown.

Missed a day, though the percentages were the same yesterday (54/42/4).

Today, 9/3/08 9:45AM:
Obama/Biden 55% 67

McCain/Palin 40% 49

Neither 4% 5

Total Votes: 121

 

[stone_seeker]

it keeps letting me vote multilpe times - I havent but i''m sure some have since its posisble. So while interesting that it somewhat has the same result as the Gallup poll, there may be some errors.

 

[Hudson_Hawk]

Should there be an undecided button? People may be holding back from voting because they''re on the fence

[Dancing Fire]

over 20% lead for Obama....are the Dems voting 2 X ?

 

[brazen_irish_hussy]

Actually, this is about as representitive as any national poll. National polls only call land lines, so college students and lots of young people are never polled. COnsidering Obama''s hold on the youth and the techno savy, I would say the polls are giving the republicans a lot more hope than they should likely feel

 

[luckystar112]

Gallup calls cell phones.

But I hope this IS indicative of how the election will go because McCain is in the lead.
