I'm glad to brag that this was my idea. LOL. Thank you Donavon West for the programming. I hope you all enjoy this wadget as much as I did. The idea came from me checking Gallup.com everyday to see who was where. So the idea hit me, wouldn't it just be better if this application that was running on thier site be better fit on my desktop. And a star is born. :)

Hey, this is a great sidebar item! Thanks so much. I do have one suggestion, though: how about a button to press in order to refresh the poll results? Sometimes when I start up my computer, it takes a little while for my internet connection to get up and running, and the gadget goes blank. Once my connection is up, though, it remains blank for a while. I figure a "Refresh" button would solve this.

The graph would be infinately more interesting if you added significant events such as VP selections, Big stories, etc.

You should create a gadget that shows the projected electoral vote map. Something like that is on CNN.com.

What Daniel said is a great idea. You could have a tiny letter at a peak or valley, mouse over it to see what the event was, then click it, having it linked to a google trends link or some other news article pertaining to that event. Great gadget though, thanks!!!

I just fixed a fatal bug caused by a change in the Gallup XML feed. Simply download and install the new version. Sorry about the interruption.

I'm trying to download the new version because I have the fatal problem from version 1.3.0.2. However, when I try to download the new fixed version, it appears to be the same version with problems--not the 1.4 version.
Can you verify you have the new version correctly linked and available for download? - Donavon West said on October 19, 2008 at 6:24 PM ...

@Johnny Yes, I have confirmed that the link above IS ver 1.4.0.1 and works fine. Try completely removing the gadget from your Sidebar and try again.
