Well, that is a fine example of on-line poll rigging. It certainly
shows how spurious on-line polls can be. All they show is that a
certain percentage of respondents agree or disagree with the question
posed. What next, a poll asking if drunkenness is an acceptable
defence for murder or rape? I am sure that could be rigged just as
easily.
I often wonder, when looking at results of on-line or ring-in polls,
if there is any way that staff in the organisations running the polls
can "adjust" the polls to reach a desired result in such polls.
