No margin of error was provided.

Odd.


There can be no statistical margin of error because this poll is done amongst those who voluntarily sign up to be sampled thus it doesn't meet any random sampling quidelines... Note the following from their site where the poll is discussed:
Because the sample is based on those who agreed to participate in the Harris Interactive panel, no estimates of theoretical sampling error can be calculated.
In other words this poll is representative of the 603 sample participants only and isn't guaranteed with any MOE to indicative of the public at large.

So it's meaningless, right?
