Its undetermined until I determine it

Not truly paradoxal so to speak.

Depends on how you see the poll.

Voting for the position you want to win will cause it to lose.  However, voting for the position you THINK will win is an unusual position of guessing based on human nature, knowing your vote will result in your guess being less likely.

BTW, I voted no, because I guessed people generally expect other people to be pessimistic and thus would vote yes, wanting to be right.
Not sure if that was why I was right when I voted that way.

Might be more fun if other people say why they voted the way they did.  Would be interesting to hear other people's analysis of this.

My analysis is that you're overthinking this waaaaaay too much....

I chose wisely in the negative and the results were positive. Now, happily, I am sad. My good luck is unfortunate.
