Yes, it is worded EXACTLY like the last one (in which NO CIRC kicked butt). Apparently MSNBC couldn't accept those results and is holding a new poll. So please vote!!!

Seriously...the response was OVERWHELMINGLY no the first time (70/30). Why the heck are they re-running the same poll? Are they just going to keep running it until they get the results they want? If that is the case they should just end the poll after the first "pro" voter. 100% of respondents say "yes" to circ.

I edited the link. Just scroll down to the red words "should newborn infants be circumcised?"

I could be wrong, but I think they have blocked certain IP addresses from voting, if that is possible? Maybe all the anti-circ's who voted in the last poll? It is very odd that they would yank those results and set the poll back to zero. I wonder if there is a very pro mgm person in charge of this poll.

Why is it that 'we' can't vote? how many of you voted in the last poll who are unable to vote in this poll?? It will not accept my vote either. Is anyone here having any success with it?

PLEASE VOTE and let us know if you are having problems too.

I refreshed the page 4 times in succession and the poll went from 61NO 39 YES to 50/50 then I did it again and it was 47NO and dropping.

I can't help being suspicious...there were 300 YES votes in a very small span and now people are being blocked from voting...

EDIT: I could vote and my IP is different than the other poll because I'm on the upstairs computer...

I checked the downstairs computer (the one that I used to vote last time) and I was not able to vote.

So I could vote on the computer I didnt use last time but not on the one I did...

They blocked our IP address! Wow, I was hoping I was just paranoid.

Maybe someone else with two comps can try this? I am really hoping this is just some coincidence because, if not, my outlook just got a whole lot gloomier.

Well it's their poll. They probabally compiled a database of all the IP addresses
who voted nocirc last time and put a block on them to get the online Intactivists out of the vote. I don't know, just a hunch. Let's wait and see how many people who voted in this poll last time are blocked this time...
