I know lots of polls, but I am trying to get a snapshot of right now. RCP is showing Clinton leading by a couple of points overall. I wonder what the people here are thinking about?

Poll will close in one day because I don't want the debate to impact it.

Your selection is hidden from others.

I'm going with other. Around this place the polls are going to favor Hillary, that's a given, even if it doesn't reflect the rest of the world.

Are you planning on putting up a post-debate poll so we can compare results?

Unsure. If I vote for Trump, it doesn't matter. If I vote for Hillary, it also doesn't matter.

I don't live in a swing state, you see.

I'm going to vote for Hillary. Trump is too unstable and out of his depth to deserve the office. Of course, AL is going for Trump no matter how I vote. Part of me wants to write in Don Siegelman instead, but I can't bring myself to troll inside the voting booth.

I'm voting for Hillary because I want her to prove me wrong about certain doubts that I have about her.

AND, a vote for Trump means voting for a guy for reasons other than the fallacy that he would make a really good president.

OTHER? REALLY? SERIOUSLY?
Why?
And while you're at it, why now drop $1000 on powerball tickets too?

Hillary... as much as I wish there was another choice, there isn't. It's either her or Trump and he isn't even a serious consideration.

Same with me. Doesn't matter who I'd vote for my state is already decided. I deeply dislike both candidates so if I do bother to vote it'll likely be a symbolic 3rd party vote.

Someone who gets butthurt over a tweet is not someone that should come near the Presidential Office.

Because I know math, I know statistics, and I know the probability is so minuscule of even one vote of mine having any impact on any outcome throughout my life. Plus, I don't live in a swing state. The only times when my state has voted for the other party is during absolute blowout elections when the winner receives like 90+% of the electoral college.

Sometimes there are people running who go against the grain of people's integrity and beliefs. It's because of principles. While you might question it, I don't feel like there is a good choice here and I'm not going to vote for either. Besides, I'm in California and it's already so solid that my vote for or against simply makes no difference.

Why would I vote for a candidate whose views I barely support, if at all? I consider the Democrats to be a lost cause, and Republicans are too beholden to their religious-right base to be effective on anything actually meaningful (and frequently enact more harm than the Dems themselves). The religious side of the R's has been slowly dwindling and within a couple of decades I'm optimistic that the usual abortion, gay marriage, marijuana, etc bullshit won't control them. On the other hand, Trump is managing to swing the party to a jerb-entitled, working-class sector that I think is even more dangerous that fundamentalist Christians. While admittedly libertarian voters this election might actually prefer Clinton to Trump were they forced at gunpoint, traditionally-speaking, libertarian ideologues in America have leaned more right than left. If Trump loses and Johnson ends up with ~10% of the electorate, it just might be enough to make Repubs consider toning back the social conservative and the interventionist aspects just a tad.

I didn't vote in the poll. I really don't know who I'm voting for, if anyone. I have always believed if you don't vote then you don't get to bitch about who's in office. Always believed it's our right, and duty to vote. I might be rethinking that. Pretty good article on CNN yesterday about how poorly people view this election. Voting for the "lesser of two evils". I don't think Hillary or Trump could do anything now for me to vote for either of them.

Just think if a million or so other people would change their minds, it starts with one!

Wow, more people are voting against Hillary than for her. Guess this place isn't a liberal paradise like you fucking crybaby conservative perpetual victims make it out to be.

As a Canadian my vote is Other; not my circus, not my monkeys.

Of course, we have our own abysmally shitty leader... *sigh*

I'm voting for a pair of balls. Balls that took a million and created an empire. Balls that didn't sleep in while four Americans died. Balls that didn't have an E-mail server for nefarious purposes. Balls that didn't take money from countries that continue to treat woman, gays, etc like shit and then turn around and say we need more of said rights. Etc, etc, etc ad nauseam.

The decision for me is clear, conscience and just plain common sense. Hillary does not deserve to be flipping Commander In Chief. That would be an outrage. I would have heartburn just watching killary lay the wreath every Memorial.

But to some people, "what difference does it make?" Color me an idiot for being part of that "deplorable basket." At least I'm not part of a bucket of crabs where if one tried to escape the other just pulls him right back down again.
