I noticed that; without taking my shoes and socks off: if 14 out of 20 people have selected Clegg then that is way above 43%. I'd hazard a guess at it being more than 69% but less than 71%.;)

Re: The First Leaders' Debate (ITV1)
 

At time of writing, 37 people have voted. That makes 1 person worth 2.7%. 17 people have voted for Clegg, which is 45.95% of the total number of voters.

Still not getting it. I was expecting the top 3 choices to be a separate poll that would add up to a hundred. The didn't watch, etc would be counted in the secondary poll.

Debates are too managed too sterile for any real substance and i wouldn't alter any vote because of these debates. People are better off reading the manifesto's then watching these if the first one is anything to go by.

Re: The First Leaders' Debate (ITV1)
 

Didn't watch it, waste of time. I played BFBC2 all evening instead. I won't be changing my vote. It'll be a chilly day in hell before I vote Labour and the LibDems have too many stupid little policies they'd bring in for me to vote them.

I realise that this is a VB 'feature', but that is a really weird way of representing the data.

Re: The First Leaders' Debate (ITV1)
 

The above poll seems to reflect what many other polls have been indicating. This morning on "Breakfast," Rory Cellan-Jones produced a poll of the social networking community's poll-of-polls which showed a moment-by-moment reaction to what was being said. I cannot remember what he poll was call (it was something like "Lyrictax), I don't suppose anyone else knows what it was? It showed that Gordon Brown was keeping up with Nick Clegg for most of the time.

Re: The First Leaders' Debate (ITV1)
 

no doubt Nick Clegg perform very well there

but Brown and Cameron was attacking each other
Clegg was attacking them both

and Brown and Cameron didn't realy bothered much with Clegg

Re: The First Leaders' Debate (ITV1)
 

vB polls aren't sophisticated enough to allow that. You either have a single-vote poll or a multi choice poll. The former allows one selection, the latter allows as many as you like. You can't physically stop someone voting for all the options, all you can do is request how people vote in the poll question text or in the OP.

I will be closing this thread shortly, but we will open a new debate thread next Thursday after the second debate ends.
