LOL, that seems like quite stupid logic to me. Well I don't see any logic at all. Now in the cnn poll, one cannot get from the results back to the voting. That is to say cnn has limited time polls that are mentioned on cnn and that creates a bias or motivation of self selection. I have not monitored cnn polls over time and have no idea if a bot is in play or not. I have monitored vote.com and know no bots have been used. And on CNN I have seen very ignorant biased presentations and heard the poll question spoken of. Other than my mention, have you seen vote.com polls hyped by a news story. It it an totally different form of self selection. The question is posed with both sides. I've seen few where I think the wording was biased. But one sees the entire presentation of the question being asked and the results based upon that wording.
