Now, it seems to me that they're screening for right way/wrong way opinions as opposed to age group. Why else would they have asked that question before asking my age.

It could have been an honest mistake – but you are right. If screening for age group that would have been the first question.

Don't deceive yourself. I know how polling is done. They first qualify the call, then start asking the questions. The computers do not allow questions to be asked out of sequence.

However, we must all keep in mind that it may be the worker who is introducing the bias and not the entire polling agency.

If nbc was doing the poll, it could NOT have been an HONEST mistake. You can't have nbc and honest in the same sentence. It is antecdotal evidence for what we all know is true. The msm runs slanted polls, with the outcomes predetermined by methods, and then runs the "poll" numbers as objective news. It is lying taken to an art form with "poll numbers" to prove it. All bullship. They new media has given us the ability see, hear and most important, DISCUSS in an open forum, the truth. That is what is killing tha ratings of the msm. We not only know, we discuss it. And truth spreads, slowly to be sure, but it is happening. Facts, logic, truth, are hard to suppress.
