Matthw 7:21-25
21 Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven: but he that doth the will of my Father who is in heaven, he shall enter into the kingdom of heaven [Matthew 7:21] 22 Many will say to me in that day: Lord, Lord, have not we prophesied in thy name, and cast out devils in thy name, and done many miracles in thy name? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity. 24 Every one therefore that heareth these my words, and doth them, shall be likened to a wise man that built his house upon a rock, 25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell not, for it was founded on a rock.

The blood of Christ only has a positive effect on those who are repentant sinners. 
If I buy my friend an ice cream, and he refuses to eat it because he is lactose-intolerant, that doesn't change the fact that it was purchased for him.

1 But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there shall be among you lying teachers, who shall bring in sects of perdition, and deny the Lord who bought them: bringing upon themselves swift destruction. 2 And many shall follow their riotousnesses, through whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you. Whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their perdition slumbereth not. 4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but delivered them, drawn down by infernal ropes to the lower hell, unto torments, to be reserved unto judgment [2 Peter 2:4] 5 And spared not the original world, but preserved Noe, the eighth person, the preacher of justice, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly.
None can choose not to be resurrected. All will be resurrected. That is part of the result of Christ's death and resurrect. Otherwise, all would go to, and be left, in the grave, i.e., Sheol, hell, etc., forever. Christ died for all mankind, and all mankind will be resurrect, whether to eternal life or to eternal descent? no, not eternal descent, to eternal condemnation. And what condemns you now? hint: the answer is found two verses after John 3:16.
I also wonder about the poll as in: Jesus died for repentant sinners, Jesus died for everyone. Initially I thought who cares, everyone who repents will be saved so it doesn't matter.
Then I realized it does matter because how can I tell someone "Jesus died for them" if they haven't repented YET? I would be guessing or potentially lying!
