This is a Republican poll. I will also post a Democrat one shortly.

Where are the real candidates that will obey the constitution and do what they promise to reduce the size and power of the state? They won't be found in the GOP or the Democrats.
Come on 5$gold. Don't be controlled by the State Party. Put up a Presidential Poll of candidates that matter: the ones not controlled by the State.
Don't W A S T E your Vote on these looter puppets.

I searched in vain for "Ostracized" in the I consider myself list :P

    How about libertarian? And why must I pick three candidates when only one or two might be minimally acceptable to me?

      Agree - it would have been noce also to pick more than one (Moderate conservative etc.), also if only 1 or 2 "float my boat", I have to then decide on which is the lesser evil... and I'm tired of seeing "evil" win the elections, or get support.

      I'm in the same boat. The poll sucks.

Are you going to run a poll for the other parties or is this just Government Party Only?

Don't bother with a socialist poll.

  I think - for curiousity sake - it would be interesting to see if all we had were a field of moocher liberal Scum residents of Looterville, and were mandated by Imperial Executive Order 3,274,368 to vote...
  
  I think the top 3 candidates would be...
  
  Secession
  
  Emigration
  
  Revolution

As the sheeple seem bound and determined to elect a woman president, I'm hoping Carly Fiorina gets the nomination

What a horrible poll. There's no libertarian or other party option?

And one must choose a top three? At the absolute most, there are only two candidates that I would even consider voting for.

I will echo a nominee used in the past by Arthur Treacher the side kick to Merv Griffin. Merv asked the same question and Arthur replied

"Herbert Hoover."

"But Arthur Herbert Hoover is dead!"

"I know he can't hurt anyone."

The sentiment was repeated once every four years and never grew old. Only more applicable.

I tried to think of a suitable name for the Democratic Poll. Again. Can't be done. I learned to rely on Treacher and Griffin. They did that skit every four years. The name never changed - nor the reasoning.

    Another Version of Herbert Hoover.
    
    "I'm voting for none of the above."
    
    "There are no names above."
    
    "Wow! That really works!"

  At least it's not Steve Colbert! --lol--

Do we have access to the poll results? I couldn't seem to bring that up.

  If clicking on "See previous results" doesn't work, then try another browser like Chrome. Internet Explorer has a habit of blocking some links.
  
  Or here is the direct link to the results, which might or might not work from your IE: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1qlexCwoK0xZWvMRk7CCGTWBo2mYzSKA1_99uu2S23PM/viewanalytics?usp=form_confirm

I am frankly amazed that as many people as shown would vote for the typical "too Christian," "too scientifically uniformed." "too stuck with policies that don't work" candidate.
