I conducted a mini survey at the local convenience store this morning. Here are the results of the 25 people polled for their reaction to last night’s debate.
10 – didn’t watch the debate. (This is not complete voter apathy. One guy lives in his pickup truck and has no TV)
3 - thought Obama won.
1.5 - thought McCain won (the half point is given for the answer "the old white guy" since the voting machines don't have pictures of the candidates.)
6 - said "What debate?"
2 - answered "What election?"
2 - mumbled "No hablo ingles"
1 - though McCain was Kissinger and also that Kissinger was dead.
The margin of error for this poll was +/-24.5
At this point the mathematicians out there are probably saying, “Hey, that’s 26 votes?”, and they would be right. Apparently, even in a small poll there is an element of voter fraud.
