Electoral College elect the President, 6% are not sure.
Rasmussen Research conducted this national Portrait of
America telephone survey of 991 adults on November 21,
2000. The margin of sampling error was +/- 3 percentage

One thing this election did for me was to drive home the reason for the
electoral college. When I saw that map of the continental US I saw that
there is a big difference between city and country people. The people in the
big cities want handouts from the government as well as gun confiscation,
more public transportation and generally more controls on everything (less
freedom). I now more fully understand the tyranny of the 51%. I wonder if
this poll was taken more from people in large cities and less from people who
reside in small towns.
All laws and each President must apply to both the large cities and small
towns ... or do they?
