Gun violence survey on msn.com

That may not be the results they wanted.

Apparently 40% are now in favor or rolling back gun laws... Bet that's gonna make the liberals wet their pants

Yeah, small vote total now, still <1000 votes, but it is clear that INGO and our like-minded brothers and sisters have made their voices known.

 

[T.Lex]

I think there's something uncool going on with the vote counter. There HAS to be more than 1k votes by now.

Also, one time on the first vote, it went to the results screen and my vote was the only vote. That's right 100% for the less restrictive gun laws. I went forward, then back, and it was back to a believable percentage.

Probably just an updater issue, but still... makes me wonder about the structural accuracy of the poll.

Look at the question again on the poll. I think they changed it.

Now it is this, which I think is the opposite of what it said before:
[h=4]Which step would be least effective to prevent mass shootings?[/h]

 

[Viper1973]

It's MSN... like they're worried about 'accuracy'???

 

[CPT Nervous]

Something is definitely going on. More limits on "assault weapons" was less than 30%, now it's 57%, and relaxing gun laws was 41%, now it's 31%, and it's still saying less than 1000 results.

That's why!! Okay, different questions. I admit, I didn't read it when I tried to vote again, and I clicked relaxing gun laws the second time...

There is a "most effective" and a "least effective" question with the same choices.

Maybe it's less than 1000 because people aren't completing it.

 

[Leadeye]

In the end the poll will produce the results that were desired by the people who started it.

 

[Lee11b]

No it won't!!! I'm a Darrell, and I get to vote at least twice....

 

[actaeon277]

I don't see it. Maybe because I already voted on this device?

 

[T.Lex]

Look at the question again on the poll. I think they changed it.

Now it is this, which I think is the opposite of what it said before:

That question has been there since the first time I took the poll.

I mean, since I took the poll.

 

[T.Lex]

In comparing the results actaeon posted compared to the results when... my friend just took it, I wonder if it is broken down by geography of the IP. The results I saw were consistent with what actaeon posted, but enough different that there's no way they were based on the same data set, IMHO.

Difficult to imagine enough votes to swing several of the questions 3 or 4 percentage points overnight. And it still says < 1k votes on each question.

Showing the results based on IP location would make more sense.

 

[actaeon277]

I'm not seeing the poll.
Maybe it's because I completed the entire poll?

 

[DRob]

Well, I've voted four times in the last 5 minutes but, if you back out and click on the link in the OP again, you get a different poll each time and you have to scroll around to find it.

When you click on an answer, there is a button that says "next".

 

[actaeon277]

It still says <1,000 votes

Yeah, I didn't see that earlier.
