Which Polls are open to ALL people in the United States?

Davida Gisriel: Let me let you in on a little secret. You are not considered a full citizen of this country, even though you may have been born here, until the age of 18. Why? Because you actually have a say when you are 18. You can vote. You can serve in the armed forces, you can serve a mandatory death sentence for slaughtering 8 homeless people outside a YMCA in North Carolina, and you can view or participate in adult entertainment (legally). Don't let it get to your head.So technically you have to be 18 to participate in a poll, with few exceptions (like stupid online polls on MySpace)....Show more

Myriam Hetjonk: The popcorn polls are all whimsical--designed to be fun and entertaining. No one would take them seriously or rely on them to predict how an election will turn out. The second type of silly poll, the folklore poll is somewhat different. Like popcorn polls, it also entertains and amuses. But unlike popcorn polls, folklore polls do have a following, and are often written about.

Adan Stribble: Popcorn poll~it is taken at the theaters where you buy the popcornThere are actually two types of silly polls, the so called "popcorn polls" and the "folklore polls." The popcorn polls go back to 1964 when Republican Barry Goldwater challenged Democrat Lyndon Johnson for president. The owner of a cinema put pictures of the rival candidates on adjacent popcorn poppers, and then called the media to report Johnson popcorn was outselling Goldwater popcorn two to one. The poll gained some popularity when Johnson did eventually trounce the hapless Goldwa! ter on Election Day.Since 1964 mutations of the popcorn poll h! ave multiplied prolifically. There are at least five subtypes: THE BUMPER STICKER POLL -- This is one of the best-known sillies. Bumper sticker polls measure support for a candidate by counting the number of bumpers displaying a candidate's name or slogan. Unfortunately, evidence exists that suggests most people have no idea what is stuck to their bumper. This fact, however, has done little to suppress enthusiasm for those using bumpers to read the political tea leaves. JELLY BEAN POLL -- Another well known silly, it requires strategic placement of two identical bowls of jelly beans, labeled Republican/Democrat, Bush/ Kerry, etc. The last surviving jelly bean(s) loses the poll. Some research suggests that voters on a diet get under counted in Jelly bean polls. THE T-SHIRT POLL -- This one works by observing and counting candidate endorsements worn on T-shirts. This poll seems to be particularly accurate for measuring strength of support in colder climates. THE MAGAZINE COVE! R POLL -- These gauge candidate support by comparing how well or poorly a magazine sells when it features a candidate on the cover. Politicians as a class do not move magazines well, so often this silly poll is a race to the bottom. Exceptions include candidates recently indicted, under investigation or otherwise embroiled in a juicy scandal. THE TOILET FLUSHING POLL -- This one gives new meaning to the phrase "flushed with success." It is designed to simultaneously measure support while dramatizing public opinion in action. Supporters of a candidate are instructed to flush toilets en masse on some prearranged signal. The consequent drop in reservoir levels is supposed to tell the tale. The popcorn polls are all whimsical--designed to be fun and entertaining. No one would take them seriously or rely on them to predict how an election will turn out. The second type of silly poll, the folklore poll is somewhat different. Like popcorn polls, it also entertains and amuses. But ! unlike popcorn polls, folklore polls do have a following, and are often! written about.As a class they rely on old beliefs and political traditions to forecast electoral outcomes. Typically they correlate some sporting event, business outcome, or candidate characteristic to winning and losing. For example, the Dow Jones average on Election Day, or the number of letters in a candidate's name is used to predict a winner.Three of the best known folklore polls look to...Show more
