seabeyond (85,892 posts)

the age range here on du, please.

Last edited Sun Apr 29, 2012, 11:17 AM USA/ET - Edit history (2)

i predict either the 40's group or 50's group the largest number. but, i am curious.

though, this may be one of the polls people do not want to vote in because of transparency. i am curious about that, also.

***edit: something else i like about this poll. an half hour and there are 101 vote already. that tells me there are more people on du, than what i was thinking. it has seemed slow of late, and i am thinking that use is down. but a lot of people not posting, are reading. that is nifty. ***

1. You may not get an accurate reading from this,
