Buhari Leads Jonathan In Poll Organized By Presidential Aide by clemhova: 12:16am On Oct 20, 2014
On October 15, the day former Head of State, Muhammadu Buhari, declared his intention to run for president in the 2015 election, news website, Sahara Reporters, activated an opinion poll asking Nigerians to indicate who they would vote for if the election were to hold that day between Mr. Buhari (as candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC) and President Goodluck Jonathan ( as candidate of the Peoples Democratic, PDP).
The poll lasted for only 24 hours, and out of a total of 15,435 persons that voted, Mr. Buhari got 12,246 votes, representing 79 percent of the total votes cast, while President Jonathan got 3189 votes, representing 21 percent of the total votes.
However, ostensibly to counter the survey conducted by Sahara Reporters, Mr. Jonathan’s Special Assistant on Social Media, Reno Omokri, also set up a similar poll asking almost the same question posed by the news website.
His poll, which is still running on his blog, “Build Up Nigeria” posed the question: “If the Nigerian Presidential election were held today, who would you vote for between President Goodluck Jonathan and General Muhammadu Buhari?”.
Mr. Omokri’s poll began a day after Mr. Buhari declared to run, but unlike the one ran by Sahara Reporters, which has since closed, the one by Build Up Nigeria is still running.
However, the result of the poll, as at 18:32 p.m. on Saturday, showed that Mr. Buhari was also leading by a wide margin.
While Mr. Buhari has 6,411 votes, representing 69.87 percent of the total tally, President Goodluck Jonathan has 2,455 votes, representing 26.75 percent of the votes cast.
Three hundred and ten persons, representing 3.38 percent of the total votes, were undecided.
For the polls, while Sahara Reporters used epoll platform, Mr. Omokri used poll daddy’s.

Where are the TAN's 16 million online signature that endorsed Janathan, they can't browse or they run out of Data? GEJ needs to b told that, you don't get a sincere feedback from an average nigerian through his pay servants! Its just like asking me to tell my M.D a bitter truth that will cost me my job....I will tell him when I get another Job.
GEJ should to a forum like nairand and gets an unbaiased feedback from an average true nigerians.Not from PDP or APC paid internent wariors. Not from nairaland whose lives is dedicated to praising\blasting GEJ,GMB,Tinubu...by their topics you shall know them.

especially in developing countries.
Though APC will always win in the online polls as postulated by barcanista egift cramjones and olapluto who is voting from ice land but when it comes to real polls i will give that to PDP.
