I read it in
different light.
Whoever the writer, his main aim is to generate more votes. So
watever happens after this report, there's only one LOSERS - the
scums' fans! Ie, if the results remain, they lose. If there's a
sudden surge in their votes, it only proves how dumb they're to
fall into such trap 
H/r, the results so far is hardly surprising; if they've done such
a poll few yrs' back, the scums wld probably had done better. This
is perfectly consistent with the fact tat most of their
glory-hunting "fans" are now spotted in blues.
