wmw999 2,314 #1 September 29, 2009 Nothing to do with whether you study the candidates, issues, etc. Just do you vote at all? This applies to other countries as well (although I know there are countries where voting is compulsory, I don't think they're well-enough represented to skew the results).

wmw999 2,314 #3 September 29, 2009 I'm tempted to run this same poll in Bonfire and see if the results differ . I'd imagine that SC has a rather committed voting population Wendy P.

jcd11235 0 #10 September 29, 2009 I cast a ballot nearly every time, but I refrain from casting votes on issues about which I don't feel adequately informed.

idrankwhat 0 #11 September 29, 2009 When analyzing your results you should probably consider that those who are voting in your poll are those with a propensity for voting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Muenkel 0 #12 September 30, 2009 Despite only 32 responses to your poll so far, I'm happy to see that 91% always or nearly always vote. _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krip 2 #13 September 30, 2009 When we first got married we discussed our vote with the "boss" after the fact. We soon found out that although we were both voteing sometimes we were voteing for different sides/people of the issue We continue to vote but the boss is more committed to the process than I am so I just cast my vote the same as hers. At least we're not cancelling ea others vote out. The only downside to this imo is by voteing it sets us up fory jury duty, and thats a bitch One Jump Wonder Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Channman 2 #14 September 30, 2009 I'm a little concerned with how you worded your poll. I'll need to check other sources such as CBS or Zogby. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
