🔴 Poll: Liz should hook up with –
Parts 1 and 2 and Totals
United States only
Analysis:
Over the time the poll was open, there was a gradual increase in the percentage of votes going to Ressler and Tom. This is perhaps because of what pollsters call the “enthusiasm factor.” The Lizzington folks tended to vote early. Later votes were mostly cast by those who visited the blog for other reasons, but then voted as well. That isn’t to say that there aren’t enthusiastic Ressler and Tom fans, just that they were overwhelmed early on by the Red fans. After a couple of months, it might be fun to run this poll again.
I did some advertising of the poll: on Twitter, IMDb and the main Blacklist blog on Facebook, but I tried to keep this to a minimum. Still, more than 90% of the traffic to my blog comes from people using search engines like Google. So who is voting? I wish I knew the ages and gender of those who voted. Most of the people who follow the Twitter account associated with my blog lately appear to be women under 40. I have not attempted to tally this however. The bios are of course public on Twitter.
About 40-45% of the traffic is international, and people from about 50 countries voted, most from Europe and especially the British Isles, Canada (and Australia). The US voters on the previous (“Who’s your Daddy?“) poll were more likely to believe Red is Lizzie’s father (50.2%) compared to the international group (47.4%). Note: the international group includes the US).
For the “Hook-up” poll, those in the US were more likely to want Red and Liz together than the international group (52.6% vs 48.8%). Ressler was much more popular in the international group than in the US alone (19.8% vs 8.9%). In the US alone, Tom had a 26% fan base, half of Red’s.
The main reason this poll is unscientific (and there are several others) is that most viewers of The Blacklist do not look the show up online. Anyone who does this is already an “engaged” Blacklist fan. They also have access to a computer and know how to do it. Still, it is what it is – and to me the findings were surprising and interesting.
Special Note on “Poll: Liz should hook up with – “
This poll was started on PollDaddy on 9/15. On Sunday 9/27, at around 8am, the poll was hacked. That poll was reconstructed from archived data and is described here. These are the results as of Saturday night when the poll had a total of 180 votes:
99 55% Red [ recalled – two sources ]
38 21% Res [ derived ]
29 16% Tom ➔ from the detailed data
15 8% Misc ➔ from the detailed data
180 100%
So the two sets of results need to be added and averaged. – LizzieB90
