Reply #75: My point is - don't count on a poll with 144 contributors to mean much. [View All]

For a recent comparison, the current "unofficial" straw poll is at 456 votes and counting, so obviously more than 2/3 of the people voting in that poll didn't vote in your poll.

Interestingly, the number of people who voted for Kucinich in your poll and the total number of people who voted for him in the straw poll and the "who's your second choice" polls are roughly equivalent.

My point is that I don't think we can put much stock in a poll where only 144 people bothered to vote, in addition to the fact that it's a completely non-random poll. Using that as a basis for an argument such as this is speculative, at best.

Kucinich voters are probably the most loyal of supporters and are eager to show that support, arguably more than supporters of other candidates. Hence, his comparitively good showing in the DU "who would you vote for" polls.
