I think this poll also needs an option for "other/undecided" or something along those lines...versus forcing all to select bush or kerry.

you might get more interesting results too.

I'd like to see an option for "someone not stuffed with cash by corporates". :)

the answer to the cash congolmerates question is: that isn't going to happen until osama takes over america :) or ralph nader thing actually catches on, but in reality there are two choices. People who make a third choice for this election are wasting their vote (unless they are already in a red or blue state). you have to choose the lesser of two evils for now.

Cause... he will send Ann Coultner on a cruisade to"invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity" ? :)

Ps:This was meant as a joke based on a statement she said once. No offense and no harm to any religion or politic was meant from my side. Just a joke--- with some facts in the rucksack!:)

I've heard that there's a HUGE opposition to Bush ANYWHERE outside my country (USA)... especially Europe.

I can see why!

Hehe if the media in the US actually showed things that happens outside the US in a neutral way, you might actually not just hear rumours about it.. you might see it on the new too ;)

Anyway, I'm not blaming the US (as it is a great country!) for it.. just the media.

knowledgeable voters in the USA are quite aware of the media and how they selectively report whatever they want to suit their political desires...and to just sell papers.

The big problem in the USA IMHO is that most of the registered voters don't vote on election day. Many citizens don't even register to vote.

....and lastly...likely 80+% of all voters who do vote don't do their homework to make an informed decision so have almost all of their information from what they see in the media.

It's sad overall...wasting their power that way.

For non-presidential elections it's far worse.

Don't worry....numbers are currently in Kerry's favor here. He is declared to be ahead by 6 points now....instead of the dead heat it was prior to the last debate.

Of course the media does these polls..so take the results with a huge grain of salt. hehe

In Australia, it's compulsary to vote...

Can we add an option for "I'm not American, so I don't care so long as it isn't Dubya?" :)
