Web site Poll Stats Archives Yes! It had to happen. Now that I have over two years' worth of poll stats I thought it was time to start archiving. So, on this page you will find poll stats from 2001 and 2002. Because a couple of Internet polling companies went under, I had to restart most of my polls. I did manage to salvage the totals and percentages before I lost those services, which you will find here.
All statistics to be updated can be found on the Site Maps , and the Web Site Statistics Page. This is done monthly, usually near the beginning of each month.
