I am pretty sure most people voting in the polls a very much aware of this. But voting Xe as worst company of the US? Who would care? Everyone already knows they are that bad and nothing has happened.

Now I personally avoid this kind of bogus polls, but I see why it can make sense for people who do have a clue to still vote for EA:
