Exactly, it's the differtence between an online information resource and an online community. I'd prefer the latter myself.

Absolutely. It's human nature for people to want to talk to their neighbors about important issues, and now and then those issues are on a national or international level. Life and work prevents most of us from knowing each other in person, but we still care. I very much want to know what my neighbors' views are on an issue as important as who our next president will be. I I shake my head in stunned disgust at the idea that this election "has nothing to do with Davis Square." Of course it does, and its effects on my neighborhood/community are important to me.

I guess what the people protesting this poll just can't grok is that the OP is interested in data specifically from people in this community, and not from some random general political community. I appreciate the poll and am enjoying watching as more numbers come in. It's of a lot more community-knowledge value to me to me than "OH NOES, ANOTHER BURRITO PLACE."
