Cool poll. My scores are exactly as I would have predicted. Go Sharpton!!!!

Abalone · 02-01-2004, 04:24 AM

Me too ! I got Al Bundy 49 % of the vote, but he lives in Florida doesn't he ?

Pyramid · 02-01-2004, 05:50 AM

2ley's poll seems a lot more believable.

River Ranger · 02-01-2004, 07:57 AM

I think it is so funny that Sharpton throws his time and money down the drain thinking he might have a shot.

crabbait · 02-01-2004, 09:28 AM

Funny....for me Kerry and Dean came out way over 50% while Bush ended up with only 9%.

TheRogue · 02-01-2004, 09:35 AM

Kucinich 66
Dean 66
Sharpton 50
Edwards 50
Clark 41
Lieberman 33
Kerry 33
Bush 0

Now, that's certainly interesting, considering the two candidates I would most likely vote for, Kerry and Clark, are near the bottom of my list.

Shows either: A. Poll questions are slanted or B. Need to re-evaluate my choice(s).

It also shows that often, presidential elections have nothing to do with the issues!! Imagine than

Straydog · 02-01-2004, 09:36 AM

Same with me CB.

Bush got 6%. Kucinich (who???), Dean and Kerry were all over 50 points each.

WheresMyBobber · 02-01-2004, 09:37 AM

Bush came up zero for me too.

River Ranger · 02-01-2004, 09:51 AM

George Bush 72.

Boatdog · 02-01-2004, 09:57 AM

WOW! That was an eye-opener. :shocked:
The person I voted for last election scored the LOWEST on my list. [img]graemlins/1zhelp.gif[/img]
I guess it's time to do some homework and figure out who I really need to support! :blush:
Thanks for the link. I needed that!

Fish_N_Russ · 02-01-2004, 10:08 AM

The questions on that poll are definitely slanted, with many being 'yes or no' choices. Don't think that really represents what many people would think.

02-01-2004, 12:52 PM

I still won't vote for any of the 7 stooges.

Bush 42%

Dean 42%

Lieberman 28%

Kucinich 28%

Kerry 28%

Edwards 21%

Clark 21%

Sharpton 14%

Joe Schwab · 02-01-2004, 09:44 PM

Could not have said it better !!

Bush 60%
Lieberman 40%
Kerry 33%
Clark 26%
Kuzinich 13%
Edwards 13%
Dean 13%
Sharpton 0

24 on/ 48 off · 02-01-2004, 11:18 PM

I think This one is a better test.

--spud-- :smile:

1pump · 02-01-2004, 11:49 PM

Dean 40%

Kucinich 33%

Clark 33%

Lieberman 26%

Edwards 26%

Bush 26%

Kerry 20%

Sharpton 13%

I figured Sharpton would be the only one lower than Bush on my list. I was rather surprised to see Kerry in there.
I thought Clark would have been first. :whazzup:

2LEYS · 02-02-2004, 02:32 AM

On that one Bush rates 100%

<font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica">I really doubt he's throwing much of HIS money at it.....

crabbait · 02-02-2004, 07:11 AM

Bush? Yeah, right. How about 15% and only because of the gun issues.

John Kerry 97%.

Hoosier Daddy · 02-02-2004, 07:15 AM

Lieberman 58%....

1 Smart Fish · 02-02-2004, 08:12 AM

I like that one better too.

Kerry 100%

Bush 29%

lost_sailor · 02-02-2004, 08:44 AM

Kucinich tells it like it is, therefore he never had a chance ... along with having a foreign sounding surname.

Dean 71%
Kucinich 57%
Sharpton 50%
Kerry 42%
Edwards 42%
Lieberman 35%
Clark 35%
Bush 0%

No wonder I can't get along with them right-wing wackos!

Bush 100%
Lieberman 81%
Edwards 74%
Kerry 70%
Dean 67%
Clarke 65%
Kucinich 42%
Sharpton 42%

Sharpton

Lieberman
40%
Clark

The only thing that doesn't surprise me is that last number. I can't for the life of me figure how any of these candidates support more than 25% of what I feel about these issues.

Wait...maybe I figured it out. Right. Standardized tests are inaccurate. Anyboday else feel that way after taking this test? I encourage you all to edumacate yourselves as much about this issue of standardized testing and consider it as a vote-deciding issue in the next election. How our populace learns and the fairness of our public ed system is more important than all this other distraction put together.

Reelentless · 02-02-2004, 10:23 AM

On the second one, Bush got 100%.

Go BUSH!

Cool Texan · 02-02-2004, 10:23 AM

Interesting....I did both polls, and both of them said Kerry on top. If he wins the Democratic seat I guess I should learn more about him. I voted for Bush last time...so this could be interesting.

willametteriveroutlaw · 02-02-2004, 10:53 AM

First Poll
90% bush
36% kerry, Liberman
27% dean, Clark
9% kucinich

TheTexan · 02-02-2004, 12:32 PM

100% Bush on the second also!

otter · 02-02-2004, 01:02 PM

Bush 100%

willametteriveroutlaw · 02-02-2004, 01:09 PM

Kucinich is one scary option.

skahorse · 02-02-2004, 02:03 PM

1st one:

George Bush
69.0

Joe Lieberman
38.0

John Kerry
38.0

Howard Dean
38.0

Wesley Clark
30.0

John Edwards
23.0

Dennis Kucinich
15.0

Al Sharpton

Exactly what I expected. Lieberman is the only Democratic candidate I would seriously considering voting for.

Wood N' Fish · 02-02-2004, 07:16 PM

Just what I woulda Imagined------
Alfred E. for president!!!!!!!

pdxkevin · 02-03-2004, 06:06 AM

Very cool. I hadn't taken that one yet... I was suprised by the results though not totally:

60% President Bush
20% Kucinich
20% Lieberman
20% Kerry
20% Edwards
20% Dean
13% Sharpton
13% Clark

I never thought that I walked the party line. I would have like to seen more third party candidates in the qwiz. Really open up the options.
