92 Percent Want Gore to Concede © 2000

The American people overwhelmingly want Al Gore to shut up and go away, if a Fox News poll is any indication.

The Internet poll asks: "Should Gore concede defeat? Or should he continue to fight?"

As of this writing, 92.2 percent said to give it up. Only 7.4 percent wanted him to keep crying for more recounts.

Al: It's the "will of the people," which you profess to care so much about.

Well, Syd, I believe there are still about a million absentee votes in California which are yet to be counted. The final tabulation of the National Popular Vote won't be reported until early January. 8^)

Gore should conceed, but he can't. The man knows that he has gone to far and can't turn back because if he doesn't win now he is finished in politics.

Yeah, it's a stupid internet poll. But who's to say it represents "the American people" any less than those people in the most heavily democratic counties in Florida who couldn't punch a ballot correctly?

And no, these aren't the same polls who predicted a Bush plurality of *less than* the margin of error of the polls. This particular poll HAS no margin of error, since it is ALL error.

With all of the mailing lists, every time someone finds a new one they send an alert to the lists and the poll gets an avalanche of people who go in without cookies allowed to vote over and over.

It was pathetic before the election there was a poll and the results were published. After it was revealed that only 10 people were polled.

Polls just ain't what they used to be.......

Cherri,

As far as the cookies go,if I have a program that eats and deletes cookies or if I cancel the cookies through my browser how does that effect voting in those polls,if at all?

This is a part tech question as well as looking at the dynamic of these skewed polls.
