UNofficial Early Presidential Campaign Poll

[Arnelos]

This is a highly UNOFFICIAL early Presidential campaign poll...

The question is simple...

If you had to decide today who to vote for in the Presidential election, which candidate would you choose:

WhiteBandit
Ninot
MrWhereItsAt
Undecided
Do not intend to vote in this election

[Arnelos]

As with all polls I start... I will wait until around 5 people have voted until I vote, lest my own vote affect the voting (though this is sorta moot with Apolytonian voting because everyone can see the running tally )

[Ninot]

last time i was in one of these, it was against Trip.... and it was a bad omen.

it ended almost tied i believe.

How can you tell? You have to vote to see what the votes are.

Yes, the last set of pre-polls inspired quite a bit of debate...

[Duddha]

Oh you wicked, wicked candidate. Careful lest I start a VP opinion poll thread! i choose not to vote in this poll, and I hope others will follow my leadership..... and they do the same on election day.



HEY! I just remembered - I escaped having an opinion poll after my term as Prez! YAY!

If so, that should be in the CoL, now shouldn't it?

I specifically looked through the CoL before I posted it and found that any poll marked as unofficial or at least not marked as official was open and free to be conducted as seen fit by the poster... if you want to ban this type of thing, I can see (based upon the comments above) that it's something worth considering... then why not suggest such a constitutional amendment and get it passed?

Personally, though I wasn't there for any previous nastyness, I don't really see the harm. Most pre-polls are so thoroughly meaningless that's really nothing more than an amusing distraction

And as for whether to start a pre-poll about my race... if I started one about your's, do you honestly think I care if you start one about mine? (though I guess Unortho has now stated that he does) Seriously, the results of such a poll are so completely meaningless that it shouldn't worry even if they have very little "supposed" support from this. The sheer size of the undecided column should be more than sufficient in most polls of this nature this early to easily give anyone the victory....

That said, it can still be done simply for the entertainment value of having something to talk about. If someone is behind in the pre-poll and then wins the election, we talk about how they supposedly overcame the odds

EDIT: And if you really want to know, I voted Undecided as well So no-one's won my vote yet

There was an amendment to, but it was defeated. Then, a "bill of rights" was passed; one of its clauses guarenteed freedom of speech (within poly rules, of course) and another guaranteed freedom to vote in any poll. So, you'd now have to pass two amendments to ban these polls (unless you want it dragged through the courts).
