I like the polls in the forums.  I like being able to see percentages of what people vote on.  It`s a nice feature.

But they suck!  I`m not expecting a plethora of statistics but they at least NEED to have a total number of people who voted.  New polls often have percentages that break down to 50/50, 25/75, or 100%.  This is due to low numbers of votes because they are new posts.

But how do I know 50/50 isn`t based on only 2 votes?  Or 20 votes?  How do I know 100% isn`t one vote?  Or unanimous among 173 people?!  This info is especially pertinent on the more "seasoned" polls that have been in the forums longer.

Startup Nation... how many people vote?  Give us a number with each poll!

OK, I confess - I have like 60 username so that I can just overload every poll with my opinion.

So, all the polls? They are all me.













*okay, okay, just kidding.
I agree with Steve.
