Monarch Beach, Calif. (PRWEB) April 30, 2006 -- The public opinion oriented social networking site WorldSentiment.com is proving that opinion polls created by users on the site accurately predict the outcome of audience opinion contests such as American Idol.
Within one hour of the American Idol contestants’ performances on Tuesday April 25, thousands of WorldSentiment.com users had answered the question “Who will be voted off American Idol on April 26th?”. – the results accurately matched what was ultimately announced 22 hours later by Fox TV:
Chris Daughtry – 4%
Katherine McPhee – 5%
Taylor Hicks – 15.5%
Elliott Yamin – 14.5%
Paris Bennett – 17%
Kellie Pickler – 44%
In addition to contestant Kellie Pickler being voted off, Fox reported that Paris Bennett had the least number of votes behind Pickler. Katherine McPhee and Chris Daughtry were the pair with the highest number of votes with Taylor Hicks and Elliott Yamin in the middle. All of which accurately matched the ranking predicted by WorldSentiment.com 22 hours earlier.
“Immediately after the performances, users began streaming to the site to vote and it was quickly clear what the results would be long before Fox TV would air them the following day.” said WorldSentiment.com co-creator Fred Thiel.
Visitors to WorldSentiment.com can vote on the May 2nd American Idol contestant performance poll “Who will be voted off American Idol on May 3rd?” during and immediately after the show.
