RT online poll shows that 56% of people think the system is rigged

Check it out. rt.com...

The poll is near the bottom of their homepage on the right.

It asks, "Who would you vote for in the US presidential election"

4 choices are offered. Here they are with the current results,

1. Barack Obama - 15%
2. Mitt Romney - 11%
3. Any of the third party candidates - 19%
4. No one! The system is rigged and the election is meaningless - 56%

Looks like people are waking up.

I don't know the validity of those numbers, but its better than these polls of a 1,000 people that are plastered all over the MSM showing a 50/50 race between 2 candidates with records I believe are not presidential material.

A poll of 1,000 people are essentially worthless. Yet people actually follow these things to make their decisions.

Why do personal research when the research has already been done by unbiased journalists on these news networks who would never lie too us with such passionate reporting on world events?

Now that looks miles more realistic than what cconn487 described. 50/50 between the Big Two? What a joke!

I guess I'd be part of the 56% group.......

Just saying.....

Are you surprised that the people who get on RT think the system is rigged? I'm surprised it's only 56%. It's like putting a poll on FOX asking if you think the media is biased towards liberals.

I think they should have included an option for "I think the Capitalist system is doomed to be replaced by Socialism, so it doesn't matter who is elected." Now, that would have been up in the 90% range.

Title should be,,,

56% of an unknown number of people, and counting, who clicked on an internet poll, think the system is "rigged" in some undefined fashion.

I think my title is just fine.

I would be interested to learn how many options the US polls are giving.

I imagine that if you don't select from the two main candidates, many polls just exclude you.

Same here but I will likely right in Ron Paul.

In other news 54% of people ate lead paint growing up...

I never understand how anyone can still buy into the two party system.

More so after obama, Can't really see a difference in bush last term and obamas first, sure their are superficial ones, but on what really matters they are the same.

People are starting to realize what I have said and questioned for years about Elections in the UsA. That being that the Electoral College is a RIGGED VOTE and that as long as the electors are free to vote how they choose, they can throw an election. The Popular Vote should decide the outcome of the election. Why ?

Because in the UsA, we no longer have to pay a POLL TAX to vote. Our VOTE should COUNT in every election where we exercise the RIGHT to VOTE. The Electoral College removes that RIGHT by allowing a few to determine the will of the many.
