Excluding the ponies (which I didn’t vote on, because I am one of sixteen people remaining on the Internet who doesn’t pony yet), this is the earliest radio poll where the sum of the numbers in the column matches the “Total” number at the bottom.
I love what this poll reveals about LW readers. Many sympathise with Batman, because of his tech/intellectual angle. The same with Iron Man, but he’s a bit less cool. Then two have heard of superman, and most LWers are male. And most of us don’t care.
The issue of the bug in question has been discussed already, in this very thread—but even if it hadn’t, I don’t think the discovery of a bug should stun you this much.
What would be really funny is if, when you select “I don’t care, but I’d like to see the results” you see that everyone else filled it out the same way.
I’m not conflating options, because I’m not really comparing Spiderman to not-Spiderman, I’m comparing Spiderman to the poll results in CCC’s comment. The effect is the same as editing the previous poll to add Spiderman.
In the meantime, the effect can be simulated by proper selection of options. Example:
Which is your favourite superhero? [pollid:37]

I am glad that you used the word “yet”: accepting the possibility of getting better is an essential part of overcoming a problem.
It’s a relief to know I’m not the only one...

Results: 4+16+2+16+1+27(last option) = 144? WTF?

Somebody sounds grouchy :/ In fact, it would be completely unsurprising if I had read the other comments. Oops.

EDIT: uh oh, you can’t fix typos in polls. I don’t know if that is a good thing or a barrier to lulz

Also apparently it’s “Spider-Man”.
You can clone polls. I wonder what the other polls are.

No wait, you can’t. Someone thought this thru.
Spiderman! Why isn’t Spiderman on there? I bet he’d be way more popular than that Flash guy whoever he is.
...Spiderman! I knew I was forgetting someone!
And the poll options cannot be edited after the fact (though the question can be).
Funny that Iron Man was the only Marvel hero on the list. If I had to pick one Marvel hero… he wouldn’t have been the one.
He did have a movie out recently. I think that’s why his name drifted into my head at the time of the poll.
On the other hand even complete anonymity could be sufficient for those who consider Spiderman a kind of pathetic whiny child.
