Description
ATM you can only see the sum of votes for each idea, e.g. 15
But 15 could mean 0(-) and 15(+) or 545(-) and 560(+)
That's adifference - it would be good to see the absolute vote count as well, something like:
532 votes for this idea 12 (-) and 520 (+)

Would it change the way you vote?

I agree with the idea but vote count should not be shown until someone votes. This could make the vote count influence problem worse than it is now.

Same issue as identified in;
http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/10308/
25 Jun 08 at 23:50
which covers
i) total vote (as suggested here)
ii) percentage ration of yes to no
iii) the value of having a "null" vote (ie a vote for don't care).
iv) importance of yes no votes, based on the impact of the topic on the others that disagree. e.g. if it doesn't effect those who don't want it, then why stop those who do want it from having it.
This is currently at a vote -2.
So best wishes for getting better support for this issue.
It is good to see an idea whose time has come.

Perhaps we also need a middle button too for the people that dont care about an idea. I'm sure a lot of people like to vote a certain direction and some will vote negative just cause they dont care about the idea itself. A center button would register as a vote for people that dont mind either way.

I agree. Should be shown after voting.

Personally, I think it should be shown before voting.
It can distinguish the simple idea that hasn't had many people weigh in from the controversial idea which may require more thought. Since one cannot change ones vote, one really needs to know about that before one votes.
