the Public Opinion Game

The game!
How well do I know public oppinion?
Hi
My name is Michael Atkins, and I am a media artist. Every day the New Zealand Herald publishes a readers poll on it’s website, the results of that poll are published in the next day’s print edition. every day I will try to guess which option will get the popular vote, and vote along the lines of public oppinion. every day, I will take a picture of the print edition, and a screenshot of the website with my choice ticked as proof.
Day 1: Who should be New Zealand’s flagbearer at the Olympic opening ceremony?
Day 2: Do Adverts portray women accurately?
Day 3: How many gold medals will NZ win at the olympics?
Day 4: What did you think of Beijing’s opening ceremony?
Day 5: Should solo parents on the DPB have to do work or training once their children reach school age?
Day 6: Do churches and other religious institutions have a legitimate part to play in elections?
Day 7: Are you concerned with the loss of heritage sites in your reigon?
Day 8: Are you worried about New Zealand’s medal chances?
Day 9: How much Olympic games coverage have you been watching each day?
