I don't know in the US but at least in Europe the election polls run by candidates during the voting period are between forbidden and smelly. Am I the only one not very happy about this poll, no matter who started it and the final results?

PS: this is my personal opinion as community member and nothing more.

Next thing there will be primaries, Florida style ballots (read: ala Jeb), etc. The first two elections were much simpler!

BTW - Excellent candidates ! Interesting to see the final tallies

In all honesty I don't think it will impact the real voting nor likely reflect it. I mean, come on-- me tied for first? Pish.

Except this data isn't taken from the real poll; its an exit poll. It is entirely voluntary. People are free to state nothing, lie, or truth. Exit polls are normal in US.

I don't like exit polls though, and know how I deal with exit polls. I do my uttermost best to DoS them...

Same when asked on which party I'd vote. 1) None of your goddamn business 2) Not relevant, only influences opinions making the popular even more popular working strategic voting in hand (nobody wants to see their vote wasted to a loser).

What happened during EU election was different. The Netherlands voted on thursday whereas other countries still had to vote on saturday and sunday whereas the Netherlands voting results were released on friday because 'they are always released a day after election day'. A shame.

It was intended only for fun. Why are you NOT happy. It seems to show a great diversity in voting which is a good thing. Nobody has an edge over anyone else from this poll.

I am conflicted on polls in real life. It seems like most political polls are made to convince you of an outcome before it happens. This was not the intent here, it was not intended to upset anyone.

Again it was only for fun.

I agree, I really think it should be taken down.

We will post the actual data once the election is complete so why should this be taken down? How is this a bad thing?

I guess I just really do not see an issue?

I would say at the very list it might even confuse some people might think they are really voting here. Then there vote wouldn't count. Besides that it is just wrong to run a poll while we are voting this poll should be run before hand if you wanted to run it.
