When the results of a poll are given, would your reply usually be with the majority?

Like the daily MSN or Yahoo homepage polls?

I am always with the majority even though I often think it will be the other way. MSN today has an interesting one about changing the name of "man" to "fan" so as to not be s*xist in the Univerity of Utah's fight song.

Depends on what the poll is about.

Absolutely impossible to answer because it depends on the poll question.

I guess it would depend on my feeling about what the poll is trying to measure.

It doesn't matter what the poll question is, I just mean if you answer when you click on to see the totals, are you usually in the majority, I always am. Regardless.

all online polls can be skewed with many voting repeatedly. also comments on articles can be easily skewed in an attempt to sway public opinion by users using multiple user names.
