New Poll/Last Week’s Results: The Olympics and Polling

This week, we want to ask you if you’ve ever been polled yourself, but first, last week’s results:

Last week we asked you what you thought politicians and athletes should do about the upcoming Chinese Olympics. The results were surprisingly split. 27% of respondents thought no action should be taken. 24% thought politicians should boycott the opening ceremony. 21% thought there should be an across the board boycott by politicians and athletes of all events, 14% thought athletes as well as politicians should boycott the opening ceremonies, and 13% thought politicians should boycott the entire event. All in all, not much agreement over a good course of action.

Now for this week. while we all hear about the latest presidential poll numbers all the time, whether it be primary polls or general election polls. We want to know if you or anyone you know has ever participated in one of these presidential polls. I, personally, have never been polled, and neither has anyone I know. Let us know if it’s happened to you. Voting starts now in the sidebar at left.
