Reader comment on item: MEF's Surprising Straw Poll on Trump
Submitted by John (United States), Apr 11, 2016 at 06:49
When I voted on this, my opinion was and is, neither Trump, Hillary, or Bernie... however none of those answers came close to that. Am wondering how many chose any answer but, "Trump with enthusiasm" over no opinion simply because there answer wasn't available. It seems like a better option than "no opinion" would have been "answer not given." to give a truer statistic.
