I don't agree with the majority unless I agree with the question.

Hmm, I might have to give up and just get ready for my hot date tonight.

You don't know you are in the majority until you click to see the results.

Maybe I am the only one who answers the daily homepage polls

Anyway, thanks for answering.

people can vote repeatedly in online polls which proves them to be useless.

if online polls were representative of the 'majority"" then romney would have been president.

eve, on the ones I do once the results are on the screen, one cannot vote again. But it is no big deal.

but, you can vote again. you clear your cookies, go to that page again and vote. wash, rinse, repeat (learned that here)

you can vote all day long using this formula unless the polling site is by invitation only or using another form of tracking; ip or mac addresses.

You don't know the results until you vote. Then, you're either in the "majority" or "minority"..... It doesn't matter what the subject is. You just vote YES or NO. I don't think anyone is getting this - maybe I'm wrong.....

yes, you're correct but there are many forums that will tell their members to go fix* a poll once they have voted on and seen the results.

that's why i said that most online polls aren't useful because there is no method in tracking who has voted outside of using cookies and cookies can easily be removed.

*fix = skew.

That would depend on the poll and who the majority is.
