Final 2016 Daycare.com Presidential Poll

[Blackcat31]

Partial birth abortion has been banned since 2008.

"The gruesome practice of partial-birth abortion has been illegal in this country for nine years–ever since the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the Federal Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act.

Sadly, Democratic Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton continues to stand by her vote against the law". :confused:

I agree

I'm registered, but can't sign in on my phone for some silly reason.

This election will effect us for the next ~30 years. That's huge.

You mean "Yuge"

Both of the major two candidates can been seen as being selfish in their past. What matters most, once a president has been selected, is whether that person can be benevolent in empathizing with the people of America and the world.

What I worry about is a "benevolent dictatorship" (wikipedia) and both may have the tendency to be attracted to this: A benevolent dictatorship is a theoretical form of government in which an authoritarian leader exercises absolute political power over the state but does so for the benefit of the population as a whole. A benevolent dictator may allow for some economic liberalization or democratic decision-making to exist, such as through public referenda or elected representatives with limited power. It might be seen as a republican form of enlightened despotism.

It's pretty solid. There are always ways to skew any poll. With ours, you must be a member and you can't use different devices or log out and back in in order to vote again.

The system also doesn't allow similar IP or email registrations.

I'd give it a +2 or -2

What makes it more interesting is that this is a mostly woman vote poll. Remember, our 2012 poll had Romney winning and we know how that played out.

Michael, I didn't think it had really been rigged! I was trying to make a joke off Trump's statements about elections being rigged. My sense of humor has been lacking lately, what can I say.

And you know, this poll has been eye-opening, if nothing else. I've learned a lot about both candidates.

Many are against the ban as sometimes procedures where the fetus has already died or won't survive outside the womb (like major organs haven't developed) fall under "partial birth abortions". The term was coined by pro life groups and is not a medical term.

Here are two interesting articles. I used to be adamantly anti late term abortion, and then I learned more about when and why they happen.

I would say most people and doctors recognize when an abortion procedure needs to be done in emergency situations.

I find it odd that some people try so hard to have babies, and others abort them like it's nothing. And some people have babies early and rack up millions of dollars in bills to keep babies alive, while others abort them at the same week of age.

I will never understand abortion and therefore just can't support it ---unless it's a medical necessity. But I won't judge people that do it. I can't imagine, though. Looking at my child each day, caring for children each day ... who can work in this profession and not be pro life?

[Silly Songs]

I think some of the people who chose "not voting" may not be able to vote. ( not citizen, didn't register in time, etc )

[Michael]

I hope everyone gets out and votes today.

[Mike]

Either way, no matter who wins, I'm thankful that I believe there's a God that's got the ultimate power!

Being in Canada, I didn't vote :: but our church has been praying every Sunday for a few weeks now for God to be in control.

[Michael]

Well it looks like our poll was one of the only ones that correctly predicted the outcome. happyface

[Josiegirl]

All I can say is wow. I'm shocked. Yet I'm not. Guess I was hoping someone would magically come in from behind and win it all.
I wish Trump the very best of luck in leading our nation on a better path, and put forth his most honest efforts to help the people.

So who is exhausted today? Stayed up and watched tv for too late! I wasn't going to, but then it was so crazy that i had to. Is it normal for a nominee not to come out and talk to their supporters when they realize they're not going to win?
