Are most HN readers really from the US?

I ran a poll here a couple of months ago [0]. While far from being accurate, it could at least be considered somehow representative for the HN audience (it lasted more than 24h on the front page, so all time zones were covered). Even though the non-US group seems to have caught up compared to a couple of years back, the US still dominates the HN audience.

Circa 2009 (first Google result) non-US was 40%
