1. done, but that page is incredibly annoying in it's "interactive" features

[Ready4Change]

Typical use of gizmos with no thought towards how they'll work in practice.

Gee whiz! That sucks!

4. Is something wrong with their site?

It's loading strangely, or not at all. Was doing it last night, too. I couldn't even get back in to see Olberman's blog after about 10:00 p.m.

5. It's a weird "interactive" page

I'm not sure if you have dial up but I am sure that page would raise all sorts of havoc with a dial up connection.

[nostamj]

10. i'm on dial-up and I didn't wait for the page to fully load

at the BOTTOM of the page is a link to "Question of the Day"

I hit that and quickly got to the poll...

[B Calm]

6. Not loading for me either!

[LizW]

21. Ah, it finally loaded for me

but it won't let me vote again.

[Liberal_Andy]

8. It's got Kerry at 64% now,...

and thanked me for voting (last night), did not let me vote again.

[rustydog]

[truhavoc]

12. any phone polling come in yet? n/t

[Sven77]

11. update

Bush 51% - Kerry 49%

57,741 responses

mouse over the poll box, then hit the msnbc.com tab, then vote for kerry.

[democracyindanger]

13. Yeah

I think some people are confusing the national poll, which is shown on default, and the msnbc.com poll, which you have to click on a tab to see and vote.

24. Thanks for the directions.

God, what an irritating web page. I think they win the contest for most obnoxious use of HTML.

[Used and Abused]

14. I guess the spinmeisters did their job?

You have to admit, Bush & the Repubs have more effective minions and spin doctors. Democrats are too nice.

[Kadie]

15. MSNBC has more than one poll going

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032553/

[sundancekid]

16. done ... keep hitting it because they are skewing/screwing our opinions

and it's still 51 for smirk and 49% for kerry; BUT, as we all know, last night's msnbc poll showed that kerry trounced the little brat.

[Child_Of_Isis]

23. They want to make sure

that we spend our saturday locked down in front of the computer keeping tabs on polls. Lol...everything is a conspiracy to me.

[lectrobyte]

18. Done. Bush 51% Kerry 49% 58180 votes

[lectrobyte]

20. btw, Newsweek poll on the same page has Kerry 61% to *'s 19%.

[Dogmudgeon]

22. I think I know what's going on

They're resetting -- "refreshing" -- the graphics every few minutes, and when they do that, it comes up without the total vote tally until the data can refresh, too.

If you wait a minute and click the refresh button on your browser, you'll see the accurate number (they have Kerry winning by a comfortable margin).

They're only going to put themselves out just so far for Shrub. To mess with something like reader polls makes no sense at all.
