Toyota vs GM

I thought some may be interested in casting their vote here.

Currently GM is in the lead with 79%, but I have no idea if people are double or triple voting.

It only allowed me to vote once anyway. I'd rather GM win (or lose) fairly.

Yesterday around lunchtime Toyata was ahead with like 75%. Today GM is kicking a$$. Nice how folks step up when they see GM getting a poor representation. Keep it up.

I was in a meeting when I checked the poll again today, and everybody looked at me strangely when I cheered aloud.

Sorry bud - I couldn't disregard. I did vote for GM, though. Not that I'm convinced that's the right answer, but it is who I'm rooting for regardless, and they're certainly heading in the right direction at the moment.

People are voting one way but buying another. I'm glad they feel patriotic but its not effecting their purchasing. Its obvious that this has been linked to numerous GM friendly sites like this.

Not a scientific survey. Click to learn more. Results may not total 100% due to rounding.
Stuff that ballot box.

How is any poll result without flaws? How can we put faith in any of these online polls particularly if there are hackers about?

Right now, I am laughing at the journalism, not GM, and irritated by Toyota's "we're the snobby popular kid in school" routine.
