A lot of folks are unhappy about Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. That's spurred a few alternatives for the 2016 presidential election...including a social media movement to vote for a giant meteor to wipe out the Earth. (Dwight Adams/IndyStar) Wochit
This is not The Onion.
An actual polling company actually polled 853 actual registered voters to see if they would rather vote for Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton or a Giant Meteor hitting the earth. And the results were pretty interesting.
Public Policy Polling (PPP) is a North Carolina-based polling company. They are not a hoax. But they do have a history of asking unusual questions along with the usual "who would you vote for, do you have a favorable or unfavorable opinion," and so on. For instance, they asked Florida voters if Ted Cruz was the Zodiac Killer and if Christians believed President Obama would be Raptured.
In this poll, they asked all those usual questions we talked about. Clinton has a 4-point edge if the election were held today, though the margin of error is 3.8 percent. Clinton and Trump both have high unfavorables.
-If Donald and Hilary are together on a boat in the middle of the ocean and it sinks. Who survives?
Haha that's a good one. Too bad it can't be made reality.
