The Daily Poll

Poll: Are you a little bit worried about the world ending tomorrow?

Now be honest… has all this talk of Mayan predictions and the end of the world freaked you out?

DID THE MAYANS predict the end of the world? Did they believe it would come on Friday 21 December?

The theory goes that the end of a 5,125-year cycle of the Mayan calendar is Doomsday (aka tomorrow).

While the theory has been roundly dismissed by scientists, that hasn’t stopped people from believing it.

We’d like to know… are you even *slightly* worried about the world ending tomorrow?

Poll Results:

No, don't be ridiculous (2440)

Yes, I'm slightly worried despite myself (2344)

I can't hear you, I'm hiding in a bunker (707)

No, don't be ridiculous
