Poll of the week: Casey James favorite Top 4 contestant

The results of the Top 4 edition of IDOL LIVE"s poll of the week was somewhat of a surprise considering the direction things are going in but on the other hand they are not too shocking considering who's in the Top 3.

This week it was Casey James who led the way, as he took in 58 of all 134 votes cast, or 43% in all, which was a fair amount ahead of second-place Lee DeWyze and his 44 votes (32%). Crystal Bowersox, who once handedly defeated all her peers in the poll early on in the season, fell to third place with just 31 votes (23%). Recent eliminee Mike Lynche was at least able to net in one vote, but that's not saying too much sadly.

Oddly enough, Lee and Crystal are now tied for first in the overall results for the season with 256 votes a piece, so these last two weeks should be exciting to see who pulls ahead.

In the latest edition of the poll of the week series, readers are asked who their favorite Top 3 contestant is. Voting will be open for exactly one week.

Casey James 58 (43%)
Crystal Bowersox 31 (23%)
Lee DeWyze 44 (32%)
Michael Lynche 1 (0%)
