In the third week of Domino’s Pizza Tracker Poll, the company has found that 87% of those responding intend to vote, up one percent over the previous week.

The Pizza Tracker poll appears on screen as soon as online customers click the “submit order” button on their computer screen. Consumers who place orders via telephone can also track their orders online and participate in the poll. Once customers place an order, they can go to www.dominos.com, click on the Pizza Tracker icon and enter their telephone number. Last week, 285 Democrats logged on after making telephone orders, vs. 76 Republicans.

Domino’s Pizza this week also unveiled http://poll.dominos.com, a site that tracks voter choices by state in two categories: who consumers are going to vote for, and which Domino’s sandwich is being ordered most that day. The maps are updated every 60 seconds.

Domino’s Pizza will report the findings of Pizza Tracker Poll every week until Nov. 4.
