Um. I'm sure as hell not clicking to find out, but...
I was just watching a video on YouTube and this poll popped up at the bottom of my screen. I usually "x" out of those things, but this very much looks like if I click on the indicated "X", it may take that as a response to the poll, which I have no intention of doing, either way. If my instincts are right, this sure is a shitty way to get a certain result on a poll. Maybe I'm wrong and my cynicism isn't justified, but I resent crap like this popping up and feeling like I don't have an option to NOT answer if I want the blasted thing off my screen. What is your opinion of this?

I ignore ALL of those...
Most of those "polls" are biased towards a predetermined answer.
This on just doesn't bother hiding its bias.
Push polling taken to it's logical extreme.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought that looked suspicious.
I believe (not positive)it is from the NRA. Once they get a response they push for you to join since you are interested-of course if you are already a member it does not matter. I have been a member off and on over they years but often get tired of their marketing and lapse. Now would be a good time to join again I guess.
