  • NOTICE: There are no results being released from the last poll due to concern by some users over one vote that was cast after midnight for Obama. I did not count it in my original math because the vote was cast after the poll deadline. Due to the expressed concern, the results from the last poll will not be tracked. Just so it is known, the last poll had 115 votes cast; 45% for Obama (D) and 42% for McCain; a lead of 3% for Obama at midnight PST yesterday.
  • This poll will close around MIDNIGHT on July 10th/July 11th with the new poll and results up on July 11th.
INFORMATION BELOW BASED UPON RESULTS FROM POLL 7/5-7/6, NOT THE MOST RECENT POLL.
  • The polling cycle from July 5th and July 6th showed Obama (D) with a significant lead over McCain (R). Obama had 49% of the vote while McCain had 38%. Obama had a 11% lead. Bob Barr (L) captured 11% of the vote, up from 10% last time. Other had 2% of the vote.
  • Only 55 votes were cast in this poll. The results are probably somewhat incorrect because of the lack of voters and because the regular users of CityData did not vote in this poll.
  • McCain has not lead in our poll since the poll from 6/20-6/25. This is Obama's biggest lead by far.

I like the fact that your poll is anonymous. If someone chooses to type their choice that's fine. At least you are giving people a choice to keep their vote private just as it is when you cast your vote at the polls.

I'll ask again, why was the other poll for 7/9-7/10 closed? Considering Obama had an overwhelming lead it is another suspicious move on your part.

An admin had to have closed it, talk to him.

Hmmmm Obama had a big league and magically the poll is shut down. Thus those who had already voted don't know they have to vote again unless they read the thread. Since Obama had so many more votes that impacts him more. That being said you poll is highly tainted already since some ballots have been thrown out and those who cast them may not know it. Are you kidding me? What does someone voting after midnight in the last poll have to do with this poll.
