Oblige Approval Poll Results

Meet the Press Poll
This poll was started a few days back for the readers of Meet the Press to select one of three options, options that appear on a RL POTUS approval poll. They were asked how they feel about the Oblige Administration, and the poll was just closed by myself via the Google Documents page. That being said, I would first like to say that this poll was voted on by you, the people. The results weren't what I expected but what the people selected. I'm sure some will challenge the ability of my meager newspaper to do proper polling, and some of those challenges are valid. I feel I did what I could to try and make sure the opinions of the people were heard.
Poll Results
Q: How do you feel about Oblige as President of the United States
A:
Approve: 38 Votes, 17%
Disapprove: 172 Votes, 77%
No Opinion: 12 Votes, 5%
Total: 222 Votes, 100%
Conclusion
Again, I'm sure this wasn't the best poll in the world, but people had a simple question at their hands, one I feel they could come to an answer about without confusion, and they decided in overwhelming numbers that the Oblige Administration is not approved of. I doubt this means most people hate Oblige, but it seems to show that most don't approve of him. I ask that a newspaper like 16 Shells step in and do a poll, given that they have the better resources and are a more established source of news media, and could better gather votes and publish results.
Regardless, thanks for reading this edition of Meet the Press, and we are now only 12 subscribers from our monthly goal of 400. Once we attain the monthly goal, we get an early start on the goal of 440-460 for April. The support of the American people will also be needed on my upcoming Congressional race, which has me once again requesting the state of Mississippi to run in this month. Maybe the South, which gave me all three of my wins last year, can stop this slide of four consecutive months of losing in Congressional elections.

Port, you shouldn't have even published these results. You got 220 responses on an article that got 43 votes? Isn't it quite obvious that someone messed with the poll?
what he said
Usually I never agree with Civil but he's right. Someone messed with it.
I made all 12 votes of no opinion. Just saying.
Unfavorable results!? Obviously the poll has been tampered with!
Quick! Robin! To the Batcave!!

or someone dropped the link in #eChile
Liar Haliman, I voted no opinion at least one of those 12
Next time, if you open a poll again I suggest you not to use Google document like this
I suggest you to select at least 10-15 people randomly from each territories and states of eUS (could be more than 20 if needed), than ask them some question by Personal Messages.
I think the results will be more trusted and reflected the real opinion of the people.
But remember choose players with wide range of experience, to reflect the opinion of all players, regardless their experience with eRepublik
I figured the Google Documents polling system isn't perfect, and I am still exploring some ways to get a better system for future polling.
Randomized PMs
Who's Oblige?
^ LOL!
