3. Depends on the pollster...
and the sincerity of the question.

If the poll is flamebait, I'll often pick the option that the pollster is least likely to prefer, no matter what my actual opinion is.

5. DU polls have taught me a lot
Like that even I'm susceptible to some things.

Since you can see the results before you vote, sometimes it can be sort of hard to not vote for the option that's already winning. If it's something I feel really strongly about then it's easy, but like in the photography polls I really notice the pull of the winning picture.

6. There is no "Don't tase me bro" option, so I can't vote in your poll
Or a chocolate option.

12. Wise move.
There will be tasing, and no chocolate for those who vote.

8. yes, except for the exclusion criteria
for Hillary supporters
for Obama supporters

I figure since if they win the election I'll be supporting them, I'm one of their supporters
(though I suspect the polls is intended for ppl who want that candidate as a first choice)

11. I respond to serious, responsible polls honestly.
I tend not to respond to push polls at all, since it's not possible to respond honestly.

I respond to satirical polls, or sarcastic polls, with satire or sarcasm.
