I was looking trough the Sun for the site and came across a poll - Link to Poll

Currently the results of the poll are:

Rhydian 48%
Same Difference 31%
Leon 21%

What are other polls on the web saying, anyone found any results?

There's not as much in it as I thought, at all. I always realised Same Difference was popular but probably didn't realise how much. Youngsters as well as anyone who finds them cute and appealing seem to be behind them 100% despite everything, so they have a really strong fanbase! That's an interesting poll result nevertheless - I'd be interested to see others so I can form an overall view based on them.

At first, I did think Rhydian probably had it in the bag but it's a little more unpredictable than I thought, primarily because we cannot be confidently sure who's picking up votes from whom, as well as how many. I suppose it makes things a little bit more interesting.

Most have Rydian fav with Same Difference second, the ones I have seen.

[Red Moon]

Just checked the Sun poll to see how it is changing as the day goes on. Currently these are the results:

Rhydian 46%
Same Difference 32%
Leon 22%

Rhydian has lost two points to the other artists.

I hope this reflects the night

Rhydian 45%
Same Difference 32%
Leon 23%

Rhydian is coming down ..

[Red Moon]

The results at just after midnight.

Rhydian 42%
Same Difference 35%
Leon 23%

Now that is a lot closer than I expected.

Online polls can not always be trusted though, you just have to look at I'm A Celeb and past BB's to realise that. Not everyone who votes on online polls actually bother to pick up their phone and vote. Plus there are plenty of people who probably don't even know the poll exists.

[XxShortyxX]

^^ Very true. Hopefully the people voting on them polls will actually pick up the phone and vote.

We have to take into consideration that most of the Same Difference fans who are around the age of 10 will not be voting on the internet polls, so I think Same Difference could be closer to Rhydian then we think.

^^ lol I'm 20 and want them or Rydian to win, or I want them to come second.

Not quite true, if you check their fan pages on Myspace and Bebo etc, lots of their fans are early teens from 14-16. I'm sure they have a lot younger fan base too, but the majority seem to be early teens.

Well probably not many of these early teens and the younger fan base go to the sun website and vote on the X Factor poll, so the gap between Rhydian and Same Diference is probably a lot closer than everyone thinks.

[GiRTh]

Same Difference seem to be closing the gap on Rhydian. Surely they're not going to win.

[Spike]

Here is an update on the sun poll

Rhydian - 39%
Same Difference - 38%
Leon - 23%

[Daniel__]

i was really hoping nikki to win but now she has gone it will have to be rhydian

[Daniel__]

just checked and the results are now

Rhydian 39%
Same Difference 39%
Leon 22%

[CassetteFinger]

If Rhydian or SD win i will be happy. Just dident want niki or Leon to win, thankfully she's gone.

[dupin]

Come on Same Difference!

Does anyone know how reliable Sun Polls are in general?

[GiRTh]

I'd laugh if SD won. It'd put Louis nose out of joint.

[:)tom:)]

sd to win. every one vote plz!!!!!!!11111

[Sam!]

If SD won then X Factor would become a joke and no-one would take it seriously

[dupin]

It's harder to call, because polls like this could be more realistic than the odds, we don't know. Keep in mind that the bookies have had Same Difference favourite to go in the first week, and they've really underestimated their support.
