I agree with the good doctor's definition, "freeping" an online poll means voting early and often.

Thus, the validity of online polls is always iffy.

I've participated in quite a few freeping sessions, myself, and learned how from the pros, but never freeped a Free Republic poll, no idea how that would be received by the management but I doubt favorably.

This poll is obviously being freeped, and JR probably knows it.

The unregistered voters have very few undecided and pass entries (6.5%), compared to over 11% for registered freepers. Why is that? Does anyone think that non-freepers are naturally more decisive than freepers?

People are showing up just to vote in the poll. And you can see that their votes in favor putting creationism in science class (over 63%) are much higher than the 57.6% of registered freepers making that choice.

The voting shows a majority who favor putting religion -- or should I diplomatically say creation "science" and ID "theory" -- in science class even without freeping the poll. But it's not as big a majority.
