Rebecca miles ahead in real voters POLL for SAT 11/12/2010

would be nice to see how many votes were cast.

to be honest, a lot of people have a go at the daily mail and the people who read it, but its website actually has quite high traffic figures.

The Daily Mail have Rebecca with a sizeable lead http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/po...pollId=1022386

Cher Lloyd
10%
One Direction
22%
Matt Cardle
27%
Rebecca Ferguson
41%

It's now Rebecca 48%, Matt 29%

I don't know how many votes there has been, but it always seems to me that the Daily Mail gets a LOT of daily traffic. Popular stories sometimes have 1,000+ comments.

When it reaches the Final and every man and his dog comes out to vote on X Factor "election night", with a considerable number of new voters taking part, the deciding factor isn't song choice or performance, it's likeability and who is seen as more 'deserving'. In essence it's a popularity contest, it's isn't just about talent.

Cher isn't likeable, her image has been that of a cocky brat, and she has been in the bottom two twice. Not enough people will wish to reward that attitude, so she will come fourth.

If on form, and free of illness, Matt has the potential to impress vocally compared to who he's up against. But he has all but destroyed the likeability he had early on, to all but his diehard supporters, by being too outspoken, coming across as bad tempered and arrogant. Many people are aware that his deserving 'tradesman' background is false, and whoever invented it, he went along with it. I believe he will come third.

One Direction have been seen as likeable throughout the entire competition, and much has been made of their 'we're best mates' chemistry. Girls and grandmas love them, and they will bring youthful fun to the Final. They will come second.

Rebecca has been seen as likeable throughout, said by some to be the nicest person they ever worked with. She's a single mother of two. In PR terms she has not put a foot wrong. She has broader appeal and will likely win

With all the trouble with Matt its easy to see why on Saturday Rebecca is finally over taking Matt for the lead,

by the way, the daily mail DOES get a lot of traffic compared to some other newspaper websites.

Gymtan can you explain why this webpoll represents "real voters"?

Seems like an easily manipulated webpoll on a notoriously reactionary newspaper website to me?

explains why pm's up beyond his usual bedtime then

dirty work..but someone's got to do it


only 2 more days of this tosh from him.

take the polls with a pinch of salt

it could be all misleading, and you end up scratching your heads when the show is over

Straws and clutching are the words that spring to mind with pmbets over this Matt landslide victory.

The market fears Rebecca that's what's keeping Matt's price up.

PURE FEAR

charlie, i'm not necessarily saying this would represent "real voters" - i never said it did, that was pmbets.

i'm just saying that the daily mail website has MUCH MUCH HIGHER traffic than one might expect given the reputation of the newspaper, so you may not totally want to dismiss this poll.

dailymail.co.uk is actually the most read online daily uk newspaper.  comfortably so.  far more than thesun.co.uk.  it's actually a very good, successful, profitable and valuable (commercially) website.

Closing up all the time. I suspect the scousers had been at it [;)]

If anyone can nick it for Rebecca the scousers can

Its true
