Our most recent poll asked readers which party they would vote for in 2006. The results weren’t terribly surprising, and I’ll probably run the same question again in August or September. For now, here are the results.
Keep in mind that the poll is entirely unscientific and shouldn’t be relied on for anything, but with that in mind, it does provide an interesting snapshot of the readers here, and does seem to confirm that a deep division has occurred in the Republican Party, with true conservatives breaking from their radical neoconservative counterparts, and quite possibly jumping ship. It promises to be a very interesting election season; it’s entirely possible the Libertarian Party will pick up a few seats in Congress.
Anyway, there’s a new poll up. Enjoy! And remember, vote only once.
| 36% | Democrat |
| 24% | Republican |
| 22% | Libertarian |
| 18% | I won’t vote |

I’m pretty sure I’d be voting for whoever has the best ideas, not whoever is in a good party.
I hate politics.

Don’t blame me, I didn’t vote for
stupidGeorge W. Bush. I’ll go Democrat again and hope that the party has pulled its collective head out of its collective ass.Anonymous

It is a poll as good as any. But, what makes anyone think the official polls are scientific and any better? They are invariably biased because they poll only populated neighborhoods and centers who are of like mindframes, (primarily from New York, Los Angeles, or Philadelphia, etc.,), select only people who have the means to communicate and respond readily, mostly those of a certain income and class range, exclude any write-ins volunteers or others outside their polling area. They never get a good representative cross-section of America; and when it comes to the statistics, they always base their descriptors around a forced guassian mean rather than matching the distributive functions of the population. If they knew how to do the math right (using their same data base), Bush’s ratings are really closer to the median of 27% rather than 37-42% now being reported. What is more, if they made an effort to poll outside this country to see what others around the world think of America’s current administration and it’s policies, it would get an abysmal 6%. This interprets as foreign affairs not being good for any newly elected administration, whether it will be Liberitarian, Republican or Democrat, as they will have alot of fence mending to do as a result of the mess the Bush administration left behind.

I do wish there would be a clone of Theodore Roosevelt on the ballot. You know, someone we could respect and who had ethical standards
