Another end-of-the-month, and another sampling of Buddhist<\/a> political\u00a0leanings for the 2016 US Presidential race.<\/p>\n This month\u2019s poll has been updated with Nichiren as a choice for Buddhist type\/school and, for the first time, has only one Republican choice. It has been kindly brought to my attention that results of the poll should be taken with a grain, or lump, of salt. This is not a random sampling, which itself is imperfect for understanding a population, but is an online survey, which relies on reader initiative, both in filling out the form and in spreading the word to others.<\/p>\n That said, please fill it out and spread the word!<\/strong> The results are at least\u00a0interesting<\/em> and could, perhaps with the help of interpretive skills beyond my own, be\u00a0instructive<\/em>\u00a0(have a look at February<\/a>, March<\/a>, and April\/May\u2019s<\/a> results).<\/em>\u00a0While I feel like anyone actually clicking over here and reading this far, let alone filling out the survey, is\u00a0totally random<\/em>, I am assured by wiser people that it is not.<\/p>\n Read more about polling after the survey and check back for upcoming posts discussiong some examples of what respondents have written in the anonymous open response question at the end of the survey.<\/p>\n Survey ends June 3rd at Noon PST.<\/p>\n
