Do you think AT polls are representative of the population?

And as a test, I added Presidential poll (I think it was 51 bush/48 kerry/1 other?)

EDIT: why do people here think they are "smarter" than the rest of the population. As seen in "Beauty and the Geek," being a geek does not necessarily make you "smart." It just means you like to sit in front of the computer for longer periods of time than most.
 
I believe that 20% of the american population has had sex at work, on the clock, during regular buisness hours :evil:

we also have to remember geeks does not necessarily equal "smart" or "makes right decisions."
 
we dont represent the population, but definetely the best looking and most intelligent 10% of the population.
 
We only represent the geek/nerdy/computer-literate/intelligent (largely Caucasian) male community between the ages of 15 and 35.
 
ATOT demographics are not representative of the population by any means.
How many females are here? How many without a computer? How many without an internet connection?
I would say your polls are somewhere along a +/- 85% error margin....
 
I don't think AT polls are representative of the population of AT, let alone the population as a whole. Too many people lie.
 
no

the people here are generally smarter than most
more minorities here (esp asian and indian) (this point not related to the first)
there are not enough women here (perhaps his goes along with point 1)(hehe i jest)
 
No, ATOT is not representative of the population at all.

I didn't vote.

I think most people here think they are smarter than the population when in reality they don't know their ass from a hole in the wall. This is generally proportional to age though and most of you will grow out of it. 😉

And all those fools who think "highly technical" is "tech support" even though it specificly says "do not post troubleshooting questions here" in a stickied post.
 
no, you have primarily educated, upper-middle-class young white men/teenagers with social problems. not exactly representative of the nation as a whole.
