CNN Poll: Probably rigged, but please vote anyway

CNN is running a poll on NRA's decision to cancel the annual convention in Columbus, as a result of the city's new assault weapons ban. The numbers don't seem to change, especially when you vote in favor of the NRA. This is typical of CNN polls, but please vote anyway.
Regards,
Chas.

More lefty's read CNN. If it was Fox, it would be going the other way.

Ambiguously worded question, I almost said "shot in the foot" because that's what Columbus did. I think the NRA did the right thing.

Ambiguously worded question
I agree. I had to read it a few times and still almost voted with "shot in the foot" .
I wonder how many people voted the wrong way due to the "clever" wording. Considering that it is CNN, probably not too many.

The percentages are too small, it's 49.8274% shot in the foot to 50.17259% bullseye, or about 50% each.
I was curious as to what would happen, so I went back and tried to vote again, and the numbers didn't change. I think they have the poll limited to one vote from each unique internet address, which makes the numbers somewhat encouraging.

They may have it so you can vote only once on a forum. Go to Packing.org & vote again. That one took my vote when I tried it last night.
